Noir

LONDON, September 18, 2006
By Sarah Mower
Sexiness doesn't necessarily go with socio-eco responsibility. But with his Noir collection, Peter Ingwersen is out to prove otherwise. This Danish label is based on "clean" sourcing—from fairly traded African and organic cotton—and a bit of not-so-pure suggestiveness.

In practice, that meant a contrast between well-cut riding jackets, menswear-influenced shirting, and second-skin latex leggings, gloves, and tops. It was all executed in black, white, red, and flesh, and pulled together around the middle with artsily constructed cummerbunds. If some of the styling staggered into a Scandi-fetish zone where few will dare to tread, somehow it didn't detract from the good thoughts in there.
