Tim Hamilton Redux FW 12

First night of NYFW/MADE at Milk Studios on February 9

This was such a fun night at Milk Studios. There were several presentations going on simultaneously - Tim Hamilton Redux, Erickson Beamon, M. Patmos, John Bartlett, Libertine, etc. There was great energy on the 8th floor of Milk Studios - the models weren’t afraid to jump around, dance, and have fun with the presentation. There was music, drinks, and the presentation felt more like a fun party with beautiful and colorful people and clothes than a presentation which was a nice way to end the first night of fashion week (before the real parties …) There were also women in the presentation but I didn’t capture them as much. There wasn’t a huge difference in the menswear and womensear, they were the same idea just suited for each gender. I would love to wear everything at this presentation and now associate it with a lot of good feelings and fun! As far as I know, Tim usually shows his mainline and inserts some pieces from Redux (his lower-priced line) but this year, he showed only Redux.

I’m going to slowly try to ID all the models and add them into the post. 

Here are some photos from designer Bumsuk Choi’s General Idea Fall/Winter 2012 “After Games” collection shown back at New York Fashion Week in February. 

I definitely felt a sense of “cool” with this collection. It’s probably because I heard the soundtrack, “Container Park” by The Chemical Brothers a million times during the rehearsal before the show (the woman who was teaching the boys was hilarious!)

The collection was very strong and you could hear it from the heavy beat of the music. I liked the way the show opened with the first model appearing from the dark in a triangle - the strong logo shape of General Idea. I really like how Bumsuk focuses on bright colors and shapes. His collection reminded me of childhood a bit. He utilized the classical sporty masculine silhouette and subtly made it different by adding various colors and small panels. As I look back, I see some greater details in the cuffs and different sections of the clothing. I really felt a sense of playful balance in this collection. I’m going try and incorporate some of his coloring and layering into my wardrobe this fall. I really want some of his pants, especially the ones with knee patches - I think they would look good on anyone! I know “cool” isn’t a very good adjective but Bumsuk successfully made me want to buy and wear the clothes and walk with the swagger like the boys. He seems to have a different direction every season and is very good at being consistent. I definitely felt as if I could walk of the show and go snowboarding with the boys.

You can see a video of the show on General Idea’s website here.

Lastly, see the backstage/pre-show photos I assisted Kristiina Wilson with here.

This isn’t my style but if you’re into really bright, patterned things, here’s some inspiration.

I suppose what I’m doing with this blog sometimes is just snapping photos of outfits or accessories that inspire me in my style and how I dress each day (which something that’s ever-changing, a bit continuous — 90% of the time it is the same black jeans and t-shirt)  or if I were ever to design something. Sometimes I post incase someone else can get inspired!
