WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

What do you get when you mix one of the world’s greatest known artisans of cashmere and a contemporary minimalistic genius of a designer? The obscurely pleasant and highly conceptual collaboration entitled Murkudis Johnstons Collection for A/W 08/09.  I can only wonder which photographer captured this collaboration so flawlessly. Commenting on the collaboration Kostas Murkudis said: “It is a pleasure to work with a traditional company. It felt quite natural to me to use and play with the rich heritage of Johnstons and logical to scan the light and landscape of Scotland and translate it into colours and surface.”
