Quick Intro to the WB Line
December 17th, 2011
Guten tag!
We are excited to announce that we have been working on our own conceptual Weltenbuerger line with minimum quantity pieces created all through the year and a full collection for the mid of next year. We have a few pieces finished … and this is what to expect…
Our collection will be divided into 3 different categories:
-W / base
-W // transform
-W /// complete
W / base - This category will consist of pieces that we consider ‘basic’, but with a progressive approach. These pieces will range from shirts to dresses and thinly knit sweaters with the ability to be layered. Easy-to-wear yet always conceptual.
W // transform – This category will consist of pieces that will be ‘transformable’ a skirt transforms to a top, a piece might be worn in upside down and turned by 90 degrees, two pieces might be attached to create a new piece.
W /// complete – This category will consist of pieces that can be worn by itself, a sort of stand-alone piece, if you will.
That is all that we can share with you now, but we are extremely excited for the future of our collection. Check back on a daily basis to see what we’re up to in our Weltenbuerger Design Lab!
