SPRING SUMMER 2010/11
_ Cælestis
“heavenly, pertaining to the sky,
Expected delivery at For-Tomorrow starts 1st week September 2010.
With notions of infinite galaxies and heavenly plains, the breakout label’s new range, ‘Cælestis’, takes inspiration from a primordial, intangible mother of being.
Concerned primarily with the manipulation of metals, Henson has ceased to be a jewellery label and has transformed into an alchemist of sorts- mixing minerals silver and brass with irreverent unorthodoxy and bringing light to dark places. Indeed, the label has grown from its broody beginnings and is illuminating sinister edges to offer greater accessibility to its already bloated fan base. But don’t be easily fooled- the shadowy corners still remain for die-hard Henson devotees.
From the ‘Big Dog’ constellation necklace- modelled on the actual constellation as it can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere at night- to sun dials in the form of cuffs, rings and necklaces, Henson tracks the movement of celestial objects as they pass, largely unseen, in and around us. Moon face rings mimic a sleeping planet while crystal rock pendants whisper ancient secrets and silver cuffs turn to gold as the light hits them.
AUTUMN WINTER 2010
Introducing 'the Wonders of War' the latest collection from Sydney menswear Henson.
The winter range's war theme stems from the social and cultural impact of conflict, from pre-history to the present day. Silhouettes are adapted from key moments in military history, from the dramatic angles of Genghis Kahn's men, to the long loose lines of Medieval crusaders. Tribal Polynesians clash with British colonialists while modern-day mercenaries hint at America's military industrial complex.
Tee-shirt graphics take cues from human anatomy, articulating the body whilst referencing those things that lie beyond our control.
Jewellery takes a tribal battle bent, playing with a motif of chieftains and royalty. Henson's signature darkness of form is here expressed through blackened, hand-sanded silver set with black onyx. Shapes remain strong and masculine, although the pieces manage to retain a unisex allure.
100% Australian made, 'The Wonders of War' is Henson's sophomore outing.
