Dispatches from Spring '11: Patrik Ervell

Another strong collection from Mr. Ervell yesterday, presented with his signature austerity and wit. Patrik always shows on the far west side (this time at Milk Studios) and the weather always seems to comply, providing the most stunning light. The wit came in the form of stacks of old issues of the Financial Times, which the models stomped on in endless loop. Things were looking a little hamster cage (or maybe Dash Snow-Dan Colen) by the end. Another Ervell signature is footwear. Last spring he embedded Clarks Wallabees with hundreds of rusted staples (each shoe had an inner lining of protective leather, so no tetanus shots required). This time around, models wore black Docs with very cool white soles.
