Fat, purveyor of all things very black and drapey and skinny, have finally released their long-awaited house brand, Rainer. The label's first collection is called 'Teutoburg Forest', which refers to a battle groundwhere the German tribes unexpectedly defeated a headstrong Roman army in the year 9 AD. You may remember this better as Schlacht im Teutoburger Wald or Hermannsschlacht.
Today, the area is more crumbling-Medieval-architecture meets industrial-wasteland-ghetto-chic; the sort of place they film ABC human trafficking documentaries. This Germanic undertone will most likely suit Fat's oft-morose-but-nevertheless hot Melbourne staff.
Rainer makes good use of unusual textural combinations, pairing wool with crushed silk, and the weight of a structured military jacket on a delicate sheer knit. Rainer keeps the prices down low through ane mphasis on simplicity and clean-cut silhouettes. Just how the label will translate to a summer collection remains to be seen, as Eastern European locations demonstrate a natural affinity with the cold.
For now at least, like salt to bockwurst, these moody basics should serve as a natural accompaniment to any good pair of schwarze Römisch-Tötung Hosen.
