When it comes to outlandish and edgy designs, I have to say,
British designers really do have a knack for it. Maleeka and I are always looking
for some funky designers to feature on our blog and this time I’ve been eyeing Philip
Colbert of The Rodnik Band (Giles Deacon is next on my list!).
Described as “the godson of Andy Warhol” by Andre Leon
Talley, Philip’s art, music and fashion inspired designs have led to some super
quirky and fun creations. One of my favourites from the brand was an
Andy Warhol artwork inspired dress; it really gave a fun new meaning to his
Campbell’s tomato soup painting! I also love the fact that the designer doesn’t
compromise on fabric (who wants to wear polyester!).
Of course any avant-garde creation is incomplete without a
hint of insanity. A dress that looks like a urinal or even a banana; that’s
eccentric on another level!

If any of you want to purchase the brand's clothes, check
out the cartoon inspired FW 13 collection; bombs that are about to explode and skeletons
on dresses carved out of cotton, silk and jersey. The accessories are really
cool too and the hats looked adorable with sequences on them (the bomb on the
hats being the real focal point). www.asos.com stocks The Rodnik Band, however with limited stock. You can keep checking the website to see what's available.

How cool would it be to attend the Wills Fashion Week in
Delhi wearing one of these creations? That person is definitely getting
photographed non-stop!
