Blaak FTW Fall Winter 2009, 2010








The Blaak man (sorry) will be wearing a tribal look this year. Sachiko Okada and Aaron Sarif have been steadily building the house year after year, incorporating evocative references in details, and providing collections full of wearability. This years show developed a tribal flavor; a shamanistic, and occultic narrative. The looks are nicely complemented with coherent accessories.



Did you notice the studs? It might remind you of Prada's collection shown a short time ago in Milan. A poster on FashionSpot pointed out a striking similarity between Prada's collection and Blaak's Fall 2007 collection which included studded shirts and pants. Well, have a look yourself...



Time for a serious question: does Miuccia Prada hate Blaak people? Yes or no?

BLAAK never gets the attention that the collections merit. Another solid, coherant and most imortantly in today's current climate, an interesting collection.

Ms Prada told me that she can't hate blaak people because one of her best friends in blaak!

Too true about Blaak. Haha I guess if one of her friends is Blaak that makes it okay...

Brilliant collection - great attention to detail, very interesting colours and perfect fabric combinations. Admittedly I don't give the menswear shows as much attention as I should - but Blaak is a label I'm going to be hunting out!

Blaak has a good mix of high-low pieces. Great details.
