Ladies, Say Hello to Humanoid

Left: Little Dress in Phantom Right: Hammie Dress in Silver
According to founders Sandra Harmsen and Hans Boelens, there is no philosophy behind Weeverstraat-based cult label Humanoid. Their "pleasantly unruly" functional designs incorporating structural fabrics and early 80's new wave/punk detailing "just happened," they explain. Indulging her gut sense of freedom, current designer in chief Cecile Bleijenberg's organic approach to fashion makes for collections that seamlessly blend from one season to the next. Fine cashmere and wool blends feel exquisite on the skin, while a knack for drapery creates pieces that feel washed and worn in the best way. Humanoid has hands down some of our favorite womenswear right now, and their relaxed tweed dresses and tunic style sweaters are the perfect transitional pieces for early Fall. Pass that Dutch.
