Uncommon Creatures is the debut fashion collection from Copenhagen-based duo Christina Højris Ottosen and Jens Kold-Christensen. Inspired by the clothes of Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn, the collection raises questions of artists' ethics. In referencing images from a religious tradition, the intention and commentary beg to be examined. In this case it seems clear that the intent was purely stylistic, executed with creativity and intelligence.

I've been really curious with various Scandinavian designers lately, and tehse guys here are no exception - very graphic and very neat!
P.S. Thanks a lot for the sweet comment, Graham!! Yep, the blog's still alive although in a slightly different format. I'm feeling kind of relieved I don't have to update every day any more lol Btw, I was just thinking the other day how I missed our little chats... and then next thing I know I get an email notification about thsi comment you left me! Btw, I was interviewed for one Australian radio station (mad cool, if you ask me!!) and it would be totally cool if you got a chance to listen to my piece which airs this Sunday (full info in my latest blog post) - I would appreciate your opinion on my first radio experience haha I'm ready to laugh at myself this weekend, because I guess this will sound funny (I def. felt a bit nervous while at it!) :)
P.P.S. What's that new blog of yours is all about? I'm curious!! :)
I adore the hats & layering! So endrogenous :)

I live in Brooklyn, and if the Jews in Brooklyn and Bushwick dressed like this i'd be all over them like hotcakes! I especially like the last two looks. What i wouldn't give to have a pair of pantaloons like that though. I love this post though. They definitely captured some of the essence of the Brooklyn Jew :)
