Designer: Rob Maniscalco / Claude Maus

We really like the spring/summer 2010 collection from Australian brand, Claude Maus. Designer Rob Maniscalco created a cool, stylish collection, with particularly clever use of sheer fabrics, which lend certain outfits almost a weightlessness , and which preventing the dark mood of the collection from becoming too heavy or tortured. The cut has been skilfully executed, and the pieces hang well; there's an edginess, but at the same time everything is grounded by a real sense of style.

We never seem to tire of well executed, dark collections with their roots in the Rick Owens school of design.

London SS10 collection summaries should be up shortly, along with more updates.
