Last summer I had the privilege of visiting the OBSCUR showroom in Paris and see what Spring /Summer 2012 looked like. This beautifully crafted collection featured light weight basics made of Japanese organic cotton and rustic looking linen jackets, without forgetting the typical to OBSCUR leather goods such as jackets with a new moldable collar and an oversize zippered bag. Designer Richard Söderberg‘s idea was to make the garments like an armor, protecting their bearer but still keeping them wearable. OBSCUR S/S12 will become available early next year.

Beautiful! Nice to know they are made small enough for women- I love the “gloved” jacket.
Me too! 🙂 OBSCUR men’s size XS or S will fit most women, I have a leather jacket (ie. featured here: http://fashion-flux.com/2010/08/24/in-the-hanging-garden/) in size S and it fits perfect. OBSCUR also has a small women’s collection coming up for next spring, you can view some of it in this post: http://fashion-flux.com/2011/10/21/obscur-womens-ss12/
I don’t mind the looser, long vest, but prefer the look of the men’s collection. I really love the white double layer tee you wore a few outfits back- any idea where to get some of their jersey pieces? I’m in desperate need of t-shirts & jersey tops.
You can check what the flag ship store has and make an inquiry there: http://212157.obscur.se/?cat=9 or in the States, at least H. Lorenzo carries them: http://shop.hlorenzo.com/OBSCUR/. This is a bit like mine: http://shop.hlorenzo.com/product.php?productid=18429&cat=&page=1&subCatid=&pid=

Hope this was helpful!
Ah thanks!
I never heard of this designer before, and if wasn’t your blog I might never found out.
I instantly fell in love, that leather jacket that you are wearing is perfect by any meaning.
is this collection available on line?
I want to spread the word since I believe in my friend Richard. He is such a talented guy! The s/s12 collection won’t be probably arriving to the stores until Janary or later in the spring, but you can check the flagship store for their stock updates: http://212157.obscur.se/?cat=9. INK Hong Kong http://www.ink-clothing.com/ and Darklands http://darklandsberlin.com/ in Berlin also I know to sell Obscur.
