BLESS x Oxbow – Skolpens new faces
5. August 2009 Knitwear
Never expected to call the Skolpen a sleeping beauty, but when BLESS kissed the dull Oxbow knit sweater alive, it evoke like a prince. No more thoughts about the ugly SKOLPEN frog, quaking the 90s aesthetics melody. What we see here, is the new born, famous again Oxbow knit sweater king, known for its great function and now – for fantastic design.
Thanks to BLESS who proved again that creativity and daringness lead to great things.
Hopefully the Oxbow design team has learned a great lesson about how to excite and refresh. It´s definitely not the stripes, checks and fancy prints that could create such a buzz.
But back to Skolpen: “Pulling from OXBOW’s archives, Bless has reinterpreted three new skolpens: the 3D-Skolpen, Black & White Mountain-Skolpen and Material Mix-Skolpen. As its name indicates, the 3D-Skolpen has a 3D effect that can be seen when wearing red-green glasses. Meanwhile, the Black & White Mountain-Skolpen features a mountain image, while the Material Mix-Skolpen contains different layers and segments that can be rearranged to suit the personal style of its wearer.”
BLESS ahead. Long live Oxbow.
