The new Schwipe Fall/Winter 2007 collection has been released in part and goes under the title “The Eyes Dont Lies”. Schwipe has become one of our favorite Australian brands in the past couple of years – their graphic style and cut & sew always makes them stand out of the herd.
This is no different with their Fall/Winter 2007 collection. For now they only released hoodies, t-shirts, cardigans with pants, knitwear and the womens line still waiting to be released. As usual they present bold colors and graphics and interesting cut & sew in the collection. For some reason they manage the strong colos better than many others out there – hard to explain.
Part of it is already available in their online store. Check out the pieces that have been so far released after the jump.

To describe Rittenhouse best, one might use the words “quiet detailing”. Combine that with sophisticated graphics, beautiful fabrics and a strong focus on quality Australian manufacturing and you might start to get a picture in your mind of what this unique label entails. We have been watching them closely now for almost 2 years and have never been disappointed by the label.
Rittenhouse’s Autumn/Winter collection is the 7th collection and continues to be skilfully made in Australia with a focus on quality and fit. The new collection consists of nice classic coats, wool sweaters, crewnecks, t-shirts, denim and more. A piece never it what it looks like. Small, smart details can be found on almost every piece, especially the ones that seem simple and not special at first.
Take a close look at the preview after the jump and see if you can find those small details, that make Rittenhouse so special and a brand to watch.

2×4 is a new interesting t-shirt concept out of Australian. Every release will consist of 8 t-shirts in total. Each design is run off in limited quantities of 200 across all sizes. Once sold out, thats it. Each release they will select four artists that they feel are doing something unique in the world of art, design, illustration or photography.
The first release is out now and features works by Jeff Canham, Emil Kozak, Noah Butkus and Regular Product. Definitely worth checking out if you want a new tee or if you want to be one of the future artists to be features in a new 2×4 collection.
Also we have some more images after the jump.

Just recently we reported about the Nom de Guerre x Mackintosh collaboration in their new Fall 2007 collection. At Refinery 29 we now also came across this new collaboration between Australian brand Rittenhouse and Mackintosh of Scotland. They re-invented the traditional Mackintosh rubberized trench.
The result, launching this month, is the reinvigoration of the classic coat with a hand-printed detachable wool-flannel liner in Rittenhouse’s signature “checkers” design, a celebration of each labels’ individual styles that gives new breath to an old standby.
