Too Complex to Dress

Take 2 parts bed sheet, and 4 parts nomad, throw in a dash of urban youth and you have what Complex Geometries has decided to be their Spring/Summer 09 collection. Based on functionality and movement, this collection has certainly mastered that just got out of bed look, except the bed sheets are still on. It's a Montreal version of American Apparel and it certainly has its fan base. The designers rely on simple colors and voluminous silhouettes to create a collection that is a) androgynous (even though most critics deny this), 2) wearable, and d) stylish (above all else). Their 'stockists' locations include their home base of Canada, US, Japan, Indonesia, UK, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Australia, South Korea, and randomly enough, Panama. I recommend size 0 and under only apply for this wardrobe. Too much volume yields just that...too much volume. Survey says: thumbs up for lazy chic, thumbs down for catering only to waifs. But shouldn't we all look emaciated anyways?
