The Thousands

It’s no surprise that Stolen Girlfriends Club have nailed it yet again with their AW12 ‘Here Lies The Bones’ collection. Derek Henderson and Maya Villiger shot the women’s and men’s ranges respectively (and ingeniously). And now I, personally, want nothing more than to laze about a teenage boy’s share house, occasionally pouring cornflakes all over my face while I wear patterned suits and faux raccoon fur and get Russian prison tattoos.

Lace tanks and dresses with flowery human skeletal detail, and silk georgette wrap shorts, shirts and dresses printed with psychedelic, i-just-dropped-3-tabs, sugar skulls and Russian pirate sketches are central in the women’s range.

The menswear (Stolen by Stolen Girlfriends Club) is safely monochromatic, with some very welcome sections of leather and deep red and blue cable knit, and an adapted version of the women’s russian pirate sketch shirt. The sweats are long and the printed tees (especially the dark green mull leaf made from tiny bones) are hard to fault. The entire collection is.
