(capsule) NY S/S ’11: Rivera Club

JQA — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:24:42 +0000

Fresh out of Santa Barbara is Rivera Club. Using fabrics sourced in Japan and Los Angeles with stateside manufacturing, Rivera Club captures California throw backs to perfection with proper cuts, and exceptional attention to detail. The dual-ply contrast shirts caulked up points in my book, along with the terry cloth lined shorts.

Eastland Shoes is definitely one of my go to Made in Maine footwear providers, and their offerings for next year’s S/S collection continues to impress. The Falmouth was the jam of the day.

The Seneca.

(capsule) NY S/S ’11: Mismo

JQA — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:30:30 +0000

Mismo (Denmark) flexed their muscles at this years capsule. What this Danish label lacks in bells & whistles they make up for with quality in both material and construction. They focus on classic appeal as well as durability, and this bag hit all the right notes in both categories on top of being one most atheistically pleasing pieces in the whole show.

(capsule) NY S/S ’11: Norse Projects

JQA — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:37:32 +0000

The Scandinavians contingent came out with force, offering clean lines, good fabrics, respectable collaborations and quality construction. Norse Projects (Denmark) was definitely among my favorites, and had some of the best stuff on the floor. Their collaboration with Elka, the Danish rainwear outfitter, produced a fantastic rain coat which is based off of the timeless original, but with a slightly leaner cut and some updated colorways.

(capsule) NY S/S ’11: Whillas & Gunn

JQA — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:07:08 +0000

Australian based Whillas & Gunn. Outerwear strong enough for the bush, and soft enough for the street.
