Astrid Andersen Wants to Make Cropped Men’s Puffer Jackets Happen

Posted: 05 Feb 2011 09:57 AM PST

COPENHAGEN–Astrid Andersen is a Danish menswear designer whose collections are very literally inspired by American athletic and street wear. From the mid to late ’90s.

A graduate student from London’s Royal College of Art, Andersen showed her second collection this week at Copenhagen Fashion Week, set to a hip hop track played on the piano. Though Andersen is white and blond (as is most of Denmark), her models, with the exception of one, were all black, their hair parted and razored into styles most recently seen on Kid n’ Play. And these boys were jacked.

She showed animal print velour track suits (all unzipped to reveal massive pecs and washboard abs), cropped hooded puffer jackets in bright neons with elbow length puffer gloves to match, mesh sports jerseys (also cropped). Some of the models carried basketballs in gold chain sacks. The show was totally over the top, not to mention completely unexpected, but we heard that Opening Ceremony has picked up some of the collection. Men, will you wear cropped puffer jackets?

Check out the full collection.

There were talks about whether we could somehow manage to put together a special based on that footage but that's also a big question mark based on her interest in that and the finances…It was a great attempt but it just didn't feel like a perfect fit for us now."

It’s news that seems to have come to a shock to Conrad, who talked up the show in her Teen Vogue cover story a few months ago, saying it was inspired by The September Issue. "The Hills was shot with three or four cameras; things like entrances and exits were reshot; and if there were sound issues, we were asked to repeat what we just said," Conard said. "This show is going to have a smaller crew, and they'll just be following us around. It's going to have a rougher feel, but I think the end result is going to be more true."

Seems MTV wanted more Hills and less R.J. Cutler. Conrad has issued the following statement regarding MTV’s decision to kill the show:
