Spotted: Rebecca Turbow

Spotted on the streets of Williamsburg (where else?): Brooklyn-based designer Rebecca Turbow. Wearing an outfit entirely of her own creation, Turbow designs a line which sells under the label "Safe Clothes" and "Made Safe."

Her highly idiosyncratic clothes, featuring modish inflections most directly evocative of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, wouldn’t seem out of place in the kogaru-dominated environs of late 90s Shibuya. Turbow herself eschews all other colors from her own wardrobe save white and turquoise and apparently owns nothing that isn't one color or the other, but she widens her palette when creating clothes for her line. With a spring line arriving soon, Safe Clothes is currently stocked by both Apollo Braun in Manhattan and the MiniMini Market in Brooklyn. Two more stores are slated to carry the line: Piece, which recently opened in Manhattan, and most fittingly, at Sheep in the famed Laforet building in Tokyo’s Harajuku district.
