You know how they say “good things come in threes?” Well, this week our “three” is a trio of deliveries from one of our favorite studios: Rundholz. Not only is this a defining brand for Workshop, but we find Rundholz’s vision for dressing to run the gamut of possibilities. The inherent style and variety presented by Carsten and Lenka is so impressive it borders on extraordinary—so rare is it for a brand to experiment so freely while still staying true to their core voice.
We were most excited to bring in Rundholz DIP for the season—you’ll notice the breadth of the delivery when visiting Workshop. Rendered in a muted, but tropical palette of Verdigris, Crab, Grape and Lagoon, the collection is inspired by vintage PanAm postcards. The first airline to fly worldwide, the PanAm era embodied possibility, discovery and a wild world to explore. True to this motif, the shapes speak of adventure: weathered utility jackets, breezy shirting and super soft pullovers define the overall look.
Thready and soft as ever, this first delivery of Rundholz Main Line centers around their knits. The designers took inspiration from Germanic and Slavic folklore for this collection, resulting in a deliciously dark and nomadic aesthetic with just the right amount of edge.
For fall, Rundholz Black Label is sporty as ever, with a selection of lightweight, cropped knits that are easy to wear and style within a larger seasonal wardrobe. Though we focused mostly on bringing in black and grey pieces for versatility, we couldn’t resist adding a few in cherry red and merlot.
The Rundholz buy is always a lot of fun (and a lot of work!) We block off an entire day to spend in their NYC showroom–a large cavernous space filled with light, laughter and many layers of fabric. This is our challenge and our pleasure each season… to drink some coffee, break out our notebooks and work our way through the dozens of racks to find the pieces that will work best for you.
