maharishi

Maharishi literally translated means great seer, started in 1994 with the vision to create environmentally sound, fair-trade produced, long-lasting, high-quality, utilitarian clothing. The collection has always included hemp and natural fibers, organic cottons and recycled military clothing. Despite great commercial growth and a high media profile, maharishi remains a privately owned company, with its ethos and identity truly intact. Blechman’s recent collections have expanded on the maharishi ethos by introducing themes connected with a deep concern for environmental issues such as the exploration of melting Polar Ice, Desert Reform, ‘The Rising Seas’ which resulted in a regenerated earth ‘The Natural Order’. All these themes call for a controlled approach to the use of the world’s natural resources and further promote the responsibility of the individual in its protection. maharishi prides itself on gaining a respected reputation for not conforming to mainstream fashion trends, placing emphasis on its own points of inspiration and the natural progression of excellent quality, perfect fit and original design. The company continues to develop and expand with a positive attitude, open mind and unique approach, firmly positioning it as one of the most influential and progressive international brands around.

 
maharishi-fw17

Strong natural fire hem and high quality military clothing has always characterized maharishi's collections, as the privately owned company masters its strong ethos of respect for nature whilst utilising the latest technology.

Tour D'Afrique

That is why it comes as no surprise when the AW17 collection Tour D'Afrique is another military focused collection with its main inspiration being the occupation of Africa as well as the interplay between Chinese and US occupation of different parts of the Sub-Saharan.

The collection expresses its inspiration sources in the unique mix of traditional Eastern and its patterns with contemporary Western influences and its soft textures. The collection has a natural color palette of earth tones, corals and the key color coltan. Khakis and camouflage colors in the collection expresses the inspiration from the military, with some pieces having been sandblasted to enhance the desert ready look. Finally, in order to add warmth to the winter collection, there are pieces in coral reds and sandy yellows.

maharishi-ss-17

From military style jackets to handworked embroidery of palm trees and parrots, Maharishi continues to mix delicate fabrics and upcycling with bold imagery.

In SS17 maharishi goes on a Tour of Africa, following American and Chinese military presence in the region. The U.S. and China pay inexorable amounts of money in annual rent for military bases to operate under the guise of supporting stability and infrastructure in the region, but trade interests are undoubtedly at play. Nomenclature across the collection is influenced by French colonisation and continued occupation of Africa.

autumn-winter-2020-maharishi

Exploring the customisation and decoration of military uniform following the forced conscription of tribal and indigenous peoples.

Garments look to experiment with the ways in which military uniforms – designed to avoid any individualism – are customised and humanised by indigenous peoples, representing the ongoing thematic dualities and core maharishi values of Military / Pacifist, East / West, and Nature / Technology.

Signature artworks reinterpret Vietnamese Hmong Story Cloths, illustrating Hill Tribes communing with AWOL soldiers. Military patches feature heavily within the collection, with classic tour-style patches reworked in organic cotton.

AW20 sees the introduction of DPM: Mamushi – a two colour disruptive pattern inspired by the camouflage commonly worn by South Korean high school students who were receiving military training during the 1970s – 1990s. Taking its name from the venomous viper found in Korea and other areas of East Asia, DPM: Mamushi reinterprets the season’s palette across Woodland, Night, Carmine and Mono colourways – the latter serving as a minimalist variant that stays true to the original Korean camouflage.

The collection is now sold out!

    introducing-hanrej

    ”Hanrej is an old and condescending term for a man with an adulterous wife.” The word originates from German hahnrei, which is a castrated rooster.

    HANREJ is a Danish brand with its main focus on jewellery.

    The designs are clean and elegant, while still communicating an abstract, reckless and distinctive appearance.

    EXPLORE THE HANREJ COLLECTION HERE

    The term HANREJ and its powerful meaning is the fundamental inspiration for the brand universe, which centres around a humorous and ironic view on gender roles, sex and a general questioning of traditional preconceptions.

    Inspiration for the first collection especially lies in the human body. The impulsive and vivid features, that are gracefully framed by something orderly. Like the veins and organs of a human, neatly framed by our exterior.

    The jewellery knows no gender and the complementing universe is original, entertaining and innovative.
