Nom de Guerre: deconstructed denim jacket
Nom de Guerre is a New York based creative collective founded by Holly Harnsongkram, Wil Whitney, Devon Turnbull, and Isa Saalabi. The concept of the collective is to combine basic and diverse influences from art, fashion, and various New York City subcultures to create a composite culture and product.
Nom de Guerre has never been short of neither concept nor sophisticated style, with their "Under the Open Sky" Spring/Summer 2008 line is a bold testament to this. The Manhattan-based fashion house's latest is, as usual, utilitarian and minimalist in quality, but as opposed to drawing from a more militaristic palette as they have in the past, this spring they'll pull from the "American idea of Manifest Destiny and its bygone Industrial Age inspired the clothes—when blue collar Americans wore suits and rolled up their sleeves."
-denim body; premium cotton sleeves and hoodie construction
-silver metal button closures
-two flap front pockets
