Limited Time: Valentino Camouflage Spring 2013 at Jeffrey New York

VALENTINO camouflage jeffrey new york launch event nicky hilton peter brandt sale buy purchase exclusive new york fashion week

Nicky Hilton and Peter Brandt enjoy Valentino Camouflage despite the snow outside.

 After launching in Milan last month, Valentino took their original camouflage to the Jeffrey Store in Manhattan during for a little soirée and a few days of exclusive retailing. The interpretation of the historic camouflage print is based upon a technological-couture process in which fabric is cut and heat-bonded and then overprinted with different elements to obtain a three-dimensional textured effect that changes with the light. There’s some play with color too—lighter panels affixed to darker ones and pops of eggplant—to beautiful effect. The robust collection consists of men’s parkas, trenches, motorcycle jackets, pants, and knitwear, totes, small leather goods, sneakers, and loafers and will sell exclusively at Jeffrey until February 20th. There’s a women’s version coming this spring. Despite happening in the thick of one of the worst blizzards New York Fashion Week has seen in recent memory, the fashion elite and celebrities came out to celebrate. Check out the collection and some party pics after the jump.

Vintage Rugged Elegance, Kai D Camouflage Tie Collection

Kai D Camouflage Tie collection made in america usa new york history rugged masculine elegant

Yes, camouflage print is, ostensibly, a utilitarian pattern but, it’s one that was first developed back in 1915 by the French. So is it any wonder that it has also become an icon of style? (Wink/nod to the storied creativity of French fashion). Also, is it a surprise that the Americans have taken the idea and run with it? (Alexis de Tocqueville certainly would understand, as would the Statue of Liberty if she could think). And run with it  is what Kai D, a Taiwaneese born, young American designer (formerly with Nautica), has done with an entire collection of camouflage print neckwear all 100% made in New York City factories. The assortment  ranges of both bow and long ties and keeps a deferential hold on the classic print, using actual vintage recycled camo print. Like the rest of Kai D’s habiliments—shirts, pants, outerwear, which have been designed with ideals of connecting past and present—the resulting camouflage tie collection is a study on atavistic, rugged, masculine elegance. Check the collection after the jump.
