In an interesting new project, Acronym designer Errolson Hugh has gotten together with Italian brand Herno. Together they present Herno Laminar, an outerwear collection using Gore-Tex fabrics.

“A capsule collection comprising 8 styles for men and 8 styles for women that perform well at high altitudes but with a decidedly urban look.

16 elements inspired to meet the needs of daily life, from business to leisure, produced using extremely sophisticated techniques such as thermo-ultrasound seams, combined with laminated GORE-TEX®, synonymous of both waterproof and breathing fabrics. This is the new uncompromising Laminar world created by Herno.

Laminar, the name given to the project, refers to the phenomenon that in physics means the “optimization of the flow” – there are no cross currents and the particles flow in a orderly way. This project is the result of two years hard work, not only on the product itself, but also to develop production techniques adapted to the use of such complex materials.”

They call it Sartorial Engineering, which we find a rather good description for the fusion of technical materials and Hugh’s know-how with the history of the Herno brand. Expect a release of the collection later this year.

A further look follows after the jump.

After rumors started circulating a while ago already, we can finally show you the latest from the designers of Acronym and Stone Island Shadow. In partnership with Japanese retailer United Arrows, designer Errolson Hugh presents his new brand DISÆRAN for Fall/Winter 2011. Today we can show you the lookbook of the collection, which is unfortunately Japan only for the moment.

The same technical expertise that we are known to find on every Acronym piece, you can of course also see on DISÆRAN. While the Acronym collection is very straight forward, DISÆRAN seems a little more fashion oriented, also using other colors than black, while still only working with technically advanced materials and impressing with beautiful details. Overall slim silhouettes and a great mix of sports-, outer- and military-wear inspired goods – premium active lifestyle companions.

Check out the full DISÆRAN Fall/Winter 2011 Collection Lookbook after the jump.

Not long ago we presented the new Stone Island Shadow Fall/Winter 2011 Collection, designed by Acronym designer Errolson Hugh. In the video here above, he introduces us to the new collection.

“He lends himself to be the hero of this video introducing us to the PARSEQ GRID, the performance system at the base of the Shadow Project since its inception and the FW collection pieces, explaining concepts/design/technical features/functionalities, all thought for a perfect symbiosis between item, environment and wearer. Nothing is left to chance, as in the best Shadow tradition. All shown (and worn) in this video.”

Enjoy!

Our friends from the MADE space in Berlin keep their series of video interviews with creatives from around the globe well alive and present today the latest episode of Visions Of Visionaries with Errolson Hugh from Acronym. The designer has produced some of the most sought after functional fashion in recent years, next to also working with other brands, including Stone Island. It is well worth listening what he has to say check it out here above!

Since a couple of months we have heard rumors about Stone Island working with the design team behind Acronym on an upcoming Fall/Winter ‘08 capsule collection. We could not imagine a better fit. Both brands are known for high quality outerwear with lots of technical features and material research involved. Now we finally came across some more information on “The Shadow Project” and can also show you a first piece of the line.
“Stone Island’s Shadow project began as a discourse between Sportswear Company owner Carlo Rivetti and the design team of Michaela Sachenbacher and Errolson Hugh, also known as Acronym. A platform for exploration, the Shadow project rapidly evolved into a system based program for a new generation of urban masculine apparel.

With Stone Island’s

Nightvision is a subline by 3sixteen that the brand introduced last year. As 3sixteen has matured and their collection has taken a more minimal and subtle approach, they present with Nightvision a line of fun graphic t-shirts with lots of color.
We present you here the Nightvision Summer ‘08 collection. Overall the line consists of 8 t-shirts, that you should soon be seeing in stores. Pics via Jeff Hamada.
