For Fall/Winter 2009, Dr. Romanelli once again taps into the great outdoors. The Dr Romanelli Summit collection consists of reworked 1960’s-1980’s outdoor apparel and gear. Primarily focusing on carefully selected flannels and hiking packs as the main source of inspiration, the collection ranges from reconstructed flannel backpacks to reinterpreted Cowichan Indian sweaters. The collection will be available exclusively at Barneys Japan with a capsule collection to be announced here in the US in coming weeks. Upcoming singer/songwriter/producer Mike Posner models the new collection. The line was shot by Andrew Paynter.

Dr. Romanelli is certainly staying busy these days. After recently presenting an entire collection in collaboration with Shelter and Nike Sportswear, as well as working with SURU LA and Alpinestars, he also created a series of biker inspired leather vests for New York retailer Jeffrey NYC. The pieces are made from 1980’s biker jackets and the graphic is based on Marlon Brando’s bike club logo in “The Wild One”.

The jackets are part of the Jeffrey NYC Fall/Winter 2009 Collection, so expect a release in the near future. More detailed images of the Dr. Romanelli “MC” Vests follow after the jump.

Recently we reported about the Celeritas exhibition going on at SURU LA. For the occasion Alpinestars worked in conjunction with artist Dr. Romanelli. Using an Alpinestars racing suit, gloves and boots as a template and Mad Max as inspiration, Dr. Romanelli has deconstructed and reinterpreted the motorcycle suit. Today we can give you some detailed looks of the racing suit.

Once again Dr. Romanelli and Sophnet team up and this time bring you the “Physical Education” collection.

Curated by Nip Tuck’s John Hensley and Linkin Park’s Joe Hahn, Celeritas (Latin for speed) is a show that communicates their passion for motorcycle culture as well as fine art and street art. Raising money and awareness for the Riders for Health organization, over seventeen artists contributed beautiful works of art, using motorcycle helmets, Alpinestars’ suits and a Suzuki Hayabusa as canvases.

In addition to participating as a sponsor, Alpinestars worked in conjunction with artist Dr. Romanelli. Using an Alpinestars racing suit, gloves and boots as a template and Mad Max as inspiration, Dr. Romanelli has deconstructed and reinterpreted the motorcycle suit.

Other legendary artists participating in the show include Barry McGee, Joe Hahn, Mike Shinoda, Mark Dean Veca, Audrey Kawasaki, Jim Lee, James Jean, Stash, Futura, Jesse James, Jeff McMillan, Alex Pardee, Troy Lee, Usugrow, Estevan Oriol and Nathan Cabrera. The show takes places at SURU and runs until August 13th.

As usual, projects with Dr. Romanelli are properly done and executed. Recently he worked with Shelter from Mexico and Nike Sportswear on jackets, vests and caps. Shelter organized a great release event, consisting of a gallery showing of the one-off pieces of Dr. Romanelli, as well as a secret show by the band Molotov.

Dr. Romanelli is never shy to break into new grounds. In his latest project, the designer known for his vintage fabric clothing, has worked with celebrated furniture designer Doron Silverman (Nobu, SLS, etc) on a collection of chairs. The silhouette of the chair is classic and takes its inspirations from all-time furniture favorites, yet the final product is completely different from the current offering on the market. The seats have been entirely covered in cut-up vintage fabrics, the signature of Dr. Romanelli. The collection consists of overall three models.
