Stylee Fridays: Q+A with Silver Spoon
- story THE FADER
We first met Avigail and Damian of London-based label Silver Spoon last year. They spent the summer of 2007 in New York and were busy spreading the word about the new line, getting up to some old fashioned mischief besides. When they came by the office with a suitcase full of the loveliest, most buttery leather jackets we’d seen in a long time, featuring their line in the magazine was basically a no-brainer. The couple have since expanded ten-fold, and for Spring ‘09 designed a collection that runs the gamut of street-smart luxe — lots of gorgeous color-infused minis and tough-girl bombers for the ladies and polished but decidedly laid-back separates for the boys. Kanye happens to be one of their newest fans and his featuring of their tailored sweats on his blog ended up getting the stylee parts of the internets all atwitter. We spoke to Damian earlier this week right after a marathon day of shopping with friend Mariel Haenn. The stylist was on the prowl for new designers to add to Rihanna’s wardrobe, and luckily Damian was at hand to point her in the right direction.
