Skaparinn, one of the lines we featured in today's Coutorture photo shoot, is a name, if you can pronounce, you should remember. Dusa, the label's creator, worked under Vicktor & Rolf before launching Skaparinn shortly thereafter. The collection is mostly produced in Vienna where those infamous Viennese tailors work their magic, hand sewing the delicate pieces the line is known for. This S/S 08 features transparency in ivory, powder, and black and is tailored to convention save for special details, like an extra long sleeve blouse or ruched drawstring caplet, that give the collection an adventurous sensibility.

We've become good buddies with the talented and gracious Chris Han. We visited Han for our pre-fashion week video series, attended her Fall 08 runway show after interview her backstage (see below!), and featured some of her S/S 08 garments in today's Coutorture photo shoot. We've actually one more (well, at least for now) Chris Han trick up our sleeve, but you'll have to wait a few days before we let you in on that secret. Han's 2008 collections were inspired by the ethereal, but for this shoot we chose the black basics Han is so skilled at creating. Even though her garments suit the conservative professional doesn't mean they can't be seized for the opportunity to stir up some Friday afternoon mischief.

Remember when Christina Applegate reinvents all of those boring uniforms in Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead?
by coutorture Remember when Christina Applegate reinvents all of those boring uniforms in Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead? Yeah, that actually happens. The gentlemen behind the label Operations made that dream-sequence a reality, using utility-based garments as inspiration for their ready to wear line. American's are not known for their taste, nor their penchant for dress-up, so it's no wonder why Operations is thriving as a line who makes our fashion personality look good (yes, it's possible). Even Levi's, the purveyor of all things American, has teamed up with Operations for a Limited Edition collection. Hell, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em (in the end, even Kenny did).
