Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015: Timo Weiland

The trio force behind Timo Weiland debuted their Spring / Summer 2015 collection at Hoffman Hall at The High Line Hotel, in the perfect setting donned with wooden floors and gothic architectural structure and windows. Here, East Coast meets West Coast, Baja sweaters meet tailored blazers, and Birkenstock sandals meet tennis separates. We've seen an overwhelming amount of Birkenstock-type sandals and Doc Martens on street style blogs, but we love that they are now being incorporated in menswear collections. Inspired by "Julius Shulman's architectural pictures from L.A. from the 50's and 60's," the collection showcased bold stripes and structured separates, accessorized with 1960's styled sunglasses. Favorite looks include the perfect combination of casual and formal with loose fitting, striped pants with a button down shirt, and a beautifully fit twill raincoat.

Fashion Week Day One, Part III: Desigual and Timo Weiland

Desigual

Completely on-brand, this show was a bevy of happy, jaunty models blowing kisses, waving their way down the runway, and making hearts for the photographers. The love was evident in the clothes, too, as is obvious every time a shopper walks into a Desigual (we have two in the 34th Street district). Color, patterns, and fun is in every piece. What came down the runway was similar, but also interspersed throughout with stunning yet slightly more subdued pieces. I always find a great jacket in Desigual (and never pass up checking on the Desigual by Lacroix) and am drawn to their leggings, accessories, and fabulous pants. This show has me particularly anticipating the long dresses that closed the collection.

The Highline Hotel setting for the fall presentation of the designers' menswear collection was a perfect match for the casual yet precisely studied and styled ready-to-wear. The dark wood, the portraits of grand dames, the sweeping staircase, all led to a room full of impeccably men dressed in cropped jackets, denim with perfect breaks over boots, and shirts layered so one tail was revealed just so. Think perfect preppy with an appealing urban sensibility. Certainly any of these young men could be found drinking coffee and reading books in the hotel lobby. Ladies, if you can, get your man into Timo and then you can borrow that fabulous long jacket or blue turtleneck sweater.

Timo Weiland Fall 2013

Nancy reports on Timo Weiland's Men's Collection. 

The creative minds behind the brand Timo Weiland, Timo and Alan Eckstein, presented an urban, British-inspired ready-to-wear collection for Fall 2013. Models donned clean tailored cuts with classic oxford shirts, crisp boot cut pants, fitted blazers, and wool jackets trimmed with leather and shearling. The color palette remained dark and cool with black and whites, olive green, and grays. A touch of red and lighter blues were a welcome dose of color.

          

          

The focal point of the collection was a quilted black leather jacket and "Medallion" patterned oxford shirt. It reflects the urban dapper style you might see roaming the streets of New York City. The shoes are a part of their collaboration with Tsubo, and looked luxe in suede and casual in leather. 

The quilted vest below has a great hexagon pattern that adds texture and sophistication to the ordinary, while the straight leg cut of the plaid pants just kept them from looking like pajama bottoms. I'll finish with the adorable: How charming is the navy dachshund sweater?
