“Common Ivy” is the name of the men’s and women’s SS 2012 collections by designer Stephan Schneider, and I really like both. For the men items are classic, formal, but with a strong casual imprint. For women he produces comfortable dresses, sometimes because of their lightness and sometimes because of their fullness.
What I like in both of his collections is the delicate way he relaxes a rigorous minimalism with little details like the sofness of the shapes and moreover a touch of ethnic revealed in some fabrics and small prints.
