All of Stephan Schneider's designs begin with the textiles (which are custom designed each season) and that's where we need to start looking at one of his collections. For Fall 2008, traditional striped and plaid patterns are presented in softened versions, with washed out colors on textured fabrics. Even when pattern isn't there, solid pieces use texture, which, when layered, create their own pattern of sorts.

Schneider's womenswear has always been of the menswear for women variety and this season is no different. Button down shirts, over-sized sweaters and tailored jackets look cozy but put together.
