German born Husam El Odeh studied fine art at the renowned Hochschule der Kuenste in Berlin and
worked successfully as an artist in Berlin until he relocated to London in 1999. His recent projects include a collection of twelve pieces for Topman and a collaboration with Swedish fashion brand Acne, as featured on style.com,vogue.com and
dazeddigital.
November sees the launch of the first offering of an ongoing collaboration between Acne and Lanvin. Juxtaposing the femininity of Lanvin’s couture legacy with the rough and masculine work wear aesthetic that has inspired Acne for a decade, this collection is set to appeal to girls and boys about town of all ages. Made entirely of denim, only the finest Italian and Japanese fabrics have been used in a collection that sets out to be classic yet sharp. To maintain their intense shade of indigo the fabrics have been given minimal treatment, resulting in dresses, pants, suits, coats, jewellery, shoes and bags in a multitude of blue hues.
The Acne/Lanvin collection will be available at Lanvin, Acne Studio and at www.acnestudios.com.
