Film & Fashion Fridays : Twin Peaks memories pt I

Ok, technically these snaps are from the Twin Peaks series, not the Fire Walk With Me movie.

However, I believe Twin Peaks is such a classic that I'm going to overlook this technicality this one time.

I just discovered all these screen shots I had saved on my old PC and decided they were too good not to share!

I mean sure, we still have a lot of summer left, but thinking about the fall these just feel like EXACTLY what I'd want to wear for the next season. Take it more like an expanded moodboard - forest walpapers, velvet sofas, bow ties, bolo ties, tweed, western shirts, navajo prints, menswear, 90s make up...

Since there are so many, I will break it into 2 parts for you :)

Enjoy!

Label Crush : POP CPH

 

 OK, it's quite rare that I actually write about designers and labels; I mean when I do, it HAS to be something special.

POP CPH is one of the few brands that I had the chance to actually discover in person - I mean in product, rather.

It all started with an ASOS purchase, after which I just had to learn more about them. I mean, most of the shit I like is American or non-European (the blogs I follow might have sth to do with that also), so seeing sth European is always a good surprise.

Their minimalist yet practical deigns really hit the spot in terms of what I'm looking for at the moment, especially for buying new clothes. Like I want something versatile, easy to care for, affordable and made to last. Staple basics, pretty much. And so much 70s, 80s and 90s glam!

In short, they do simple, edgy casual clothes in nice fabrics like cotton and silk which is like SUPER RARE these days (trust me). AND they only have shops in Copenhagen so it's totally non-corporate.

Not to mention relatively cheaply-priced for what this is, really. Oh and did I mention it's both womens and menswear? A lot of the pieces work for both tho.

The sweatshirt I bought is really like the softest thing in the world, tho I can't swear on it as I need to see how it looks after a wash. But boy, I haven't seen pure cotton like that in ages!

So for the fans of ZARA, COS, ACNE and Céline, here's a mid-range fairly affordable alternative that's cool and slightly under the radar.

Oh and did I mention they do parties?? How cool is that? Here's the brand in their own words

 

WE DO PARTIES & CLOTHING

 

POPcph was founded in Copenhagen in 2005 by a passion to create

- extraordinary parties, style & experiences.

Since 2005, POPcph has been hosting parties where fashion meets

clubbing, underground meets pop culture, designers & models meet

common people and cool kids meet old rock & rollers, in everything from

designer shops & restaurants to cinemas, hotels & raw industrial buildings. 

Having established the brand this way, and with the the heart and origin in the

creative Copenhagen clubbing & fashion milieu, POPcph expanded in 2008

launching a playful take on a classic collection for men & women

- inspired by these and all tomorrow's parties.

Anyway, here's a selection of both campaign (which are a bit too Terry Richardson-ish for me)  and Tumblr shots (more up my alley).

They also have an online shop and a series of retailailers carrying the brand, including ASOS.
