Peter Wiesmann
We recently went to Project No. 8 to check out the work of Stephan Schneider (which, by the way, is superb), and we couldn't help but notice the work of Peter Wiesmann.
The German designer previously worked at Bless, and took part in the 2007 edition of the Hyeres fashion festival. With this initial collection, the idea was to take everyday, banal items like boxer shorts or white T-shirts or knit socks, and give them a luxe, almost couture makeover.
Not pictured here, but available at Project No. 8, is a clever line of jewelry by Wiesmann combining magnets and Euro coins. We'd expect interesting work yet to come from Wiesmann.

So how much are the socks?

Not sure (Project No. 8 didn't have them as far as I know). But I'm guessing a lot, given that they're hand knit from silk and have all these feathers sewn in. Cool to look at though.

Project No 8 actually does have the socks, not the same exact ones but a variation on them. I don't know how much they are though.
