<\/a>We covered Garmz<\/a>, the startup that lets designers take an idea from sketch to (online) store based on community support, after meeting them at LeWeb.<\/p>\n Browsing through the store, where production ready designs are put up for pre-order or sale, we came across this hooded jacket by Silas Bahr<\/a>. Or, exhibit A in why Garmz just may be able to make the crowdsourced fashion model happen.<\/p>\n It may not be the next Tik Tok + Lunatik<\/a> (read: million dollar project), but the hoodie\/asymmetrical front jacket combination strikes a rare balance between comfort, functionality and design. Even Jimmy Choo and Ugg couldn’t figure out the design portion of that equation, so it’s no small feat.<\/p>\n “It always had been a wish of mine to have something between a sweater or hoodie and a jacket. I like the classy style of a jacket but the comfortableness of a sweater. I do not like to look too formal but not too casual either. So I mixed it all up.” – Silas Bahr on his inspiration for the hooded jacket<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We like the idea that there’s a place where a student who was “not very interested in fashion design before” can find the support to go from concept to clothing. Mix it up.<\/p>\n
