From a strange place, Fossil corporate states that it takes inspiration from a disparate variety of items it calls “vintage.” Examples of old (and well used) items: lunchboxes, box cameras, toasters, jewelry and toys, among other things, reside on their website in artistically grouped collages to challenge us all to understand what makes this apparel company tick. The products in general are not vintage – in fact most of their fashion design is conservative, contemporary-normal and certainly not retro, flamboyant, experimental, period or antique-y. So, anyway, despite the disparity between the image they project and product mix they actually sell, this blogger still gives them high marks for product quality, wide selection, attractive color and design, and good prices. Also, it does not go unnoticed that the warranty on their watches is eleven years. And, if you enjoy this sort of thing, their website is flush with interesting whole-earth-catalog-ish articles that you can click to in the Fossil Life Style section.
Here’s a selection of a few of their more fashion design distinctive new products for 2012.
