Noir - New Danish Label

[faust]

this is cool - I like it.

This line is the bomb! I love the mission of the designer and the silohuette of the entire line is very appealing. I would love to see celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker or Jessica Simpson endorsing the line for a good cause. Plus I think that they would look really awesome in all of the bubble like dresses.

sounds great! so sick of these lookalike brands! and im loving hearing about brands who set themselves apart (though perhaps not as much as comme or watanabe who seem to differentiate for the sake of being different )

 

[Kriss]

I'm in love! Noir clothes are just like something I would wear and these pictures gave me a lot of inspiration. Do they sell their clothes anywhere else beside Denmark?

i recently read an interview with peter ingwersen in the danish magazine cover, that it's being sold in colette in paris and barney's in new york as well.

..also, the just updated their website again: www.noir-illuminati2.com

Black Is the New Green

Noir's eco-friendly fashion.If you think that clothing with a conscience sounds about as sexy as cutting-edge fashion from Denmark, think again. Noir (above), a new label founded by the Copenhagen native Peter Ingwersen and designed by Rikke Wienmann, wants to make you look good and feel good about yourself at the same time. Ingwersen says that the line of rakish jackets, pants and shirts, many of which are made from sustainably produced Ugandan cotton, is intended for "a woman who believes in ethics but still wants to look stylish." Not to mention hot. Ask Naomi Watts, who liked the clothes enough to wear them on a recent cover of GQ, or Kim Hersov, the London girl-about-town who was seen stepping out in a sharply tailored jacket and flirty tulle top from the spring collection. So far, the only American store to carry the label is Ikram in Chicago, but if the initial buzz is an indication, Noir won't be in the dark for long.

I've seen the SS06 in person.

The quality is amazing.. I could not stop starring and feeling... the SA probably thought I was crazy

Noir!!!
I recently purchased 2 jacket and a skirt from them...at Lane Crawford...!
I was very shocked to find them there---because Lane Crawford does not carry "new" designers....!
But the clothings are very well made and attentive to all the details...! Beautiful cut and simply gorgeous!!

 

[Baizilla]
