With Telfar’s 10th collection, “Extreme Lengths,” we see the designer once again satiating his signature addiction to fit innovations. For instance, there’s a pair of jeans who’s inseams would, if laid out, measure 60 inches long, but Telfar has creased the excess up, and secured the extension with a copper button. Then, of course, he’s added a cargo-sized pocket to the whole thing. It’s a structural, aesthetic element, to be sure – but there’s a practicality to it. “I just don’t want people to be cold… really,” says Mr Clemens about the added layer. He does his consumer good, sticking to this charitable theme by using heavy, thick corduroy, sporty fleece, American denim and his favorite: sweatshirt fabric done in the way only Telfar can do it. “These fabrics are all my idea of what American comfort fabrics are,” he says. Telfar has already worked with Fila and Dr Martens in previous seasons, so we know he’s got a fetish for footwear. This time, Telfar worked with Converse and banged out 18 different designs, all totally Telfar and all a part of the Converse (PRODUCT)RED program, which donates a considerable portion of sales to The Global Fund to eliminate AIDS in Africa.
