FarFetch.com works as a fashion portal, connecting consumers to a wide array of boutique clothing from retailers all over the world. Divided into three departments – Luxe, Lab and Contemporary – the selection on FarFetch caters to every desirable element of fashion for men and women. Among the bevy of exhilarating designer dresses from labels such as Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent you’ll also find designers of a more obscure appellation. Here’s a look at some who’ve caught my eye.


The look of Luxe: Wunderkind


Coin Detail Necklace, $1,008 | Patterned Dress, $1,576

Wunderkind is the current label of German designer Wolfgang Joop. His first Wunderkind collection debuted in 2004 and Joop has since shown at both the New York and Paris legs of Fashion Week. His designs for the label are magnificent in their opulence, flaunting excess with an edge while maintaining a very streamlined sophistication. Wunderkind is included in the Luxe department of FarFetch for its dedication to the highest quality and its strong reputation.


The look of Lab: Finsk


Pleat Detail Shoe Boot, $716 | Limited Edition Wedge Shoe, $675

Launched in 2004, Finsk is the brainchild of Finnish designer Julia Lundsten, a true visionary in the art of sculptural style. She cites an architectural inspiration which is all too apparent in the uniqueness of her shoes; from a wooden wedge to brilliantly mixed textures, her designs are always original. Finsk is housed in FarFetch’s Lab department alongside some of the most eclectic labels and experimental designers in the industry.


The look of Contemporary: Odd Molly


Dareme Wrap, $169 | Wunder Dress, $105

Karin Jimfelt-Ghatan and Per Holknekt created Odd Molly, a great favorite of mine, in Stockholm in 2002. The label visualizes sophisticated bohemia replete with charming details. I love the embellishments, from beading to lace, that add even more character to the earthy designs. You’ll find Odd Molly in the Contemporary department of FarFetch along with an assortment of casual and urban-chic labels.

These are just some of my favorite labels housed on FarFetch. I’d also recommend checking out Pero, Txell Miras, Tim Van Steenbergen, Ann Yee and L’Agence. Or perhaps start browsing for yourself; you may find your next favorite designer!

So glad I discovered your blog- we were both in the post Madison put together on fashion and music. This post is fabulous because I have a) always wondered about this site and b) because I am a huge fan of Odd Molly!

Thanks, Gabbie! That’s definitely one of my favorites. Odd Molly has such a cute collection, some pieces look very boho/country and others have a bit more glam to them. The whole thing combines for such a lovely, understated elegance!

Oh my gosh, you are making me want to go shopping. So bad!! I LOVE the contemporary pieces, they are stunning.

Casee Marie July 24, 2011 at 11:13 pm

Ha! It’s terrible, I know. Shopping online shouldn’t be as easy as it is! Too much of a provocation.

Okay, I want that wrap! I love the color, and it looks so comfy!

That’s definitely one of my favorites. I love the little detailing around the collar and the sleeves, too!

Aren’t they gorg? Loving the abstract quality combined with the little bit of classic. So fun!

I really like the pieces from the Contemporary line. I’ll have to visit FarFetch sometime. I just got an email the other day that I have a $15 credit to Beyond the Rack. Not sure how that happened but I guess I better start browsing!

Reply

Casee Marie July 24, 2011 at 11:18 pm

Definitely some of my favorites in Contemporary! I love the options to browse based on exactly what you’re looking for in terms of price/quality/brand.

I signed in to BTR recently and had a credit, no idea where it came from. Unfortunately the shipping is usually $10 so that eats up a chunk of it – but free shipping is still something!
