Shadows and other signs of l i fe Spring / Summer 2011
The Spring/Summer 2011 collection is inspired by a study of long black silhouettes created by different objects that cast a deformed shadow. Like walking in the sun, when your silhouette looks two meter long in the shadow that falls on the pavement. These elongated lines are a red thread throughout the collection.
Japanese inspired indigo checks and stripes make the shirt collection come alive in super soft washed out cottons. Also washed down sweat and pilled jersey make the minimalistic look softer and more subtle. Some bold front prints, with a slight ethnic feel make the look complete.
Another important inspiration is the Danish artist Thorvald Bindesbøll, known for his minimalistic translation from oriental art. His ceramics make a bold and colorful statement, but also a refined almost flowery impression. Danish art and design is known for integrating oriental influences in their work, exactly as how Won hundred has been inspired for this Spring/ Summer.
Long dresses and shirts make a key look for the women’s collection. A more tailored look comes in floor length blazers and cropped men’s wear pants. Tie blouses and knot elements, together with kimono inspired jackets make the look complete. But also a return of the wide leg trousers makes the long and lean silhouette a statement. Washed out silks, pilled jersey and soft cottons are used in the collection.
The men’s collection is a clean cut, simple but elegant wardrobe. Key items are the traditional t-shirt and jeans. This in combination with longer mac-like coats and bomber jackets. Sharp tailored suits with a slight cropped leg, make a statement this spring. Traditional
Colours are directly inspired from the Thorvald Bindesbøll ceramics. A lot of cream-whites, pale yellows and burnt orange. Combined with the overcasting shadows in grey and black give the collection a new direction.

Design philosophy
WON HUNDRED Appreciation for simplicity and understated design. A search for refined and clean lines transforms a classic wardrobe into a modern history. Inspired by heritage gentleman style and cultural influences from art, nature, music and people makes the minimalistic designs to have an old soul. A sharp eye for detailing and a love for fine qualities add to the heritage feeling off a strong and clean collection. “ We have a dream of creating clothes that enforces the personality of the person who wears it, as opposed to dictating an invented identity. We want the personality of the user to transcend through Won hundred’s designs. This way every piece becomes unique.” — CONCEPT, ART DIRECTION AND GRAPHIC DESIGN Femmes Regionales PHOTOGRAPHY Jonas Bie Retouch Emil Rønn MAKE-UP AND HAIR Maria Hall MODELS Mathilde / Scoop and Simon T / Unique Portraits Lennart, Christopher, Jamie, Anja and Emilie Head office Won Hundred Ryesgade 19e, 1st floor DK-2200 Copenhagen N Phone: +45 361 609 04 info@wonhundred.com www.wonhundred.com
