STPL just released their fall 09 cut + sew collection. The theme for this season is “Community Works”, I personally like the process how they build the concept and bring into a collection, it’s always simple but has a deep message. Here’s the story behind it like it said by Jeff Staple himself: “the theme derived from his observation “as unemployment started going up lately, many people, of all ages, were heading back to the volunteer workforce. A silver-lining in these economic times…so I wanted to really focus on it. If you check out the entire collection, you’ll see that all the “models” are actual real-deal volunteers. We asked them a couple of questions about why they do what they do. The stories are as interesting as the clothes”. Another thing is they actually supports the community works like God’s Love We Deliver, Housing Works, National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Here are my favorites from their collection:
