Rittenhouse offers a look into a number of offerings from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Tailored Italian wool suits, Japanese selvedge denim jeans, intricate hand embroideries and cotton pleated shorts are just are few of the options. Clean lines are softened with earthy trimmings, a myriad of different types of sea shell and amazing sculptural knotted leather buttons. Pirate stripes lend a beachside feel and sit beside children’s paintings, daisies and digitally printed swimshorts. Rittenhouse describes the look “as a very Australian take on sharp mod casual.” Sounds about right.

We report pretty much every day about brands that mostly work with graphics on their clothing. At times its also really refreshing to take a closer look at brand such as Rittenhouse. The Australian brand has made a strong name for itself in recent years and present solid collections.
Unlike many others out there, they do hardly ever work with graphics and concentrate more on patterns, cuts and the details. The outcome is for this Spring/Summer 2008 season a smart collection that takes a new look at basics, giving them a refreshing make-over by playing with the panels and adding small details here and there.
Hanon Shop will be releasing the Rittenhouse Spring/Summer ‘08 collection tomorrow, so make sure to check it out.

“Rittenhouse named after the Philadelphia square where designer Sally McDonald and graphic artist Micah Hamdorf were living at the time when they decided to set up their own label after working together and separately on projects for Stussy, Pam and Rookie Skateboards. The Rittenhouse mens collection is based around simple classic shapes with asymmetric pockets and subtle print detailing, using only high grade fabrics and super-soft jersey, all manufactured in Australia.” Available now at Oi Polloi.

Just recently we reported about the Nom de Guerre x Mackintosh collaboration in their new Fall 2007 collection.

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.
