Frost Birgens Spring/Summer 2011

What is interesting about the Frost Birgens 2011 spring/summer collection is that, at first glance, it depicts the average kind of guy.

But when you take a closer look, it actually portrays the average kind of guy who wants to be different from the rest of the crowd!

Consistent with current trends, the knee-length long johns play on the idea of leggings. The johns are ideal for the guy who does not want to wear shorts above the knee.

Additional trendy items are the rugged boots, the rolled up pants above the ankle, and a touch of asymmetry.

Danish designer Jacob Birgens launched his label in 2007.

Evolutionized by Frost Birgens

For autumn/winter 2010, Frost Birgens invites men everywhere to a new evolutionized state, free from the current connotations of prejudice.

Danish designer Jakob Birgens departs from excessive consumption as he exalts quality over quantity.

Knits abound, as well as layers; but the focus is placed on the garments that lie beneath.

Whether worker or man of leisure, be revolutionized—better yet, evolutionized— by Frost Birgens.

The Men behind Frost Birgens: 2011 Spring/Summer Collection

Although Jakob Birgens launched his label Frost Birgens in 2007, he began his design carrier in a workshop, in the Latin district of Aarhus as he created clothes for friends and other customers who found him.

Two years later, Jakob was joined by two savvy businessmen as co-owners: Simon Hepworth and Christian Kjaer.

Injected with renewed vision, Jakob continued to draw inspiration from his surroundings and assorted artists, such as Leonard Cohen, Rei Kawakubo, Peter Linkbergh, Hemingway, and Bob Dylan.

He has developed the knack of creating an elegant garment of knitwear based on another garment like a blazer with elbow patches.

Additional signature items include tees, jackets, pants with belt function, and large chest pockets on shirts.

Frost Birgerns—relaxed functionality for the urban male.

“Evolutionized” by Frost Birgens at Temporary Showroom

Be invited into the unique universe of Jacob Birgens with his 2010 autumn/winter collection, where he breaks with today’s excessive consumption and “one-season wonders”.

Like a beautiful piece of music, Frost Birgens’ autumn/winter 2010 will grow on you and give you an experience beyond just clothes. Quality over quantity will always prevail at Frost Birgens.

The collection broadens the horizon on knits. They vary from soft cotton to delicate merino, couching warm angora and first quality lamb. The knit designs ponder classic cardigans; they play with patterns and they dare the knitted pants. Twill, velvet, raw canva, and suede make the look of the shirts and chinos appealing to the working man, as well as the impeccable gentleman wanting to stand out.

Layer upon layer is a general theme this time. The clothes underneath are accentuated. This is seen amongst others with ’adders’ and ’Olav’ knit, both cardigans of warm sturdy lamb’s wool, as well as ‘Jens Jacket’ inspired by soldiers coats.

This autumn/winter 2010 collection puts Frost Birgens at the forefront of a new era. An era where focus on prejudice is left for what you can create yourself and together.

Danish born Jakob Birgens started Frost Birgens with the first collection in 2007. Today, Frost Birgens is a creative and inspiring company co-owned by Simon Hepworth and Christian Kjaer.

Characterized by subtle functional details, Frost Birgens mixes styles from past and present in an informal and playful way, balancing the familiar with the astounding.

Frost Birgens takes a classic, familiar blazer with slit and elbow patches and designs it into knitwear of the highest quality.

Functionality like pants with belt function and large, practical chest pockets on shirts, knitwear, tees, and jackets are also a typical characteristic of Frost Birgens. The relaxed look and the subtle details like extra-large shirt buttons and vertical paspel pockets make Frost Birgens a unique and exciting acquaintance.
