Moncler Gamme Bleu by Thom Browne 2nd Delivery

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Ive been waiting for this delivery for quite sometime now, and so excited that its now in the store.  Thom Browne for Moncler Gamme Bleu has been proving to be one of the hottest mens collections out now.  We get constant calls and emails from customers trying to hunt down specific pieces from the f/w.  The first season gamme bleu was limited a few stores in the u.s. 4 to be exact, s/s is no different.  The collection is very rare and gaining allot of popularity amongst our regular customers.  We are also cultivating a ton of new clients due to this line.

2nd delivery consisted of 1 parka, 2 blazers and 4 polos.  The parka is a rip-stop nylon in shiny grey. It is the same fabric that is used in the 1st look of the s/s2010 show.   The 2 blazers are both 3btn snaps, one in navy which is the same fabric as the parka w/snaps from first delivery.  The seersucker is the 20th look from the s/s2010 show. The proportion for both of the blazers is short and the fit is slim.  I wear a 46 in Dior and the 1 is a bit slim on me.  The polos are the same pique and color way from the first deliver but have contrasting collars.  The come white(not pictured), red, navy, and black.  Customers who want these shpuld act quick because I already am sold out of many sizes from the 1st delivery plain polos.

Attachment S/S10

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

This week we received most of our s/s10 order from the japanese collection ATTACHMENT.  This is most definately one of the my favorite collections in the store, the pieces are simple yet unique enough create excitement.  This is our second season representing the collection, our f/w was so well received that only a few pieces made it to sale.  Spring/Summer features jersey cardigans and t’s as well as an amazing, draped neck cotton jacket.  The cardigans are a must, as soon as I tried them i contemplated a re-order because even though we bought 2 colors and plenty of styles, I could sell this piece all day, plus i want 2 for myself.

cardifrntgrcardisideblkWe also re-ordered a piece that we sold out of in fall in a new color, its a long open draped cardigan in the same fabric as the 2bt cardigan.  This one can be worn in a variety of ways, including upside down.  There is also a range of super soft 3/4 length round neck t’s that go great under all these pieces as well as on there own in the summer. I probly need at least 2 colors, they come in grey, black and cream.

opencardifrnt3-4tsideThe cotton jacket is the funnest piece to dress with though.  We had this jacket in wool for f/w and it sold out really quick.  We do also plan in receiving it in a very soft drapey black leather which already has many customers drooling.

drapejktfrntdrpjktopensideAttachment sizes there pieces 1-5.  We start the collection at a 2.  The sleeves on the pieces are very narrow, even in the larger sizes.  2=46, 3=48, 4=50, 5=52-54.  With some of these the more fabric the better, its all about a strong drape.

First Delivery Dior Homme Spring Summer 10

Friday, January 8th, 2010

The S/S 10 Dior Homme collection is gonna be one of the easiest, wearable, yet oddly smart collections for KVA to date.  Its still a combination of classic Dior items such as cropped blazers, slim shirting, and signature torn knits from Slimane days.  The runways pieces this season are open, with draped details, often lacking closures but contrasting with a tailored shoulder.  First delivery brought us a 2 snap short blazer, and an open vest with a contrasting lined detail.  Along with 4 colors of cotten knits, 2 torn styles and 2 “bee” styles.  We also received more raw 17.5cm, 19cm and 21cm indigo and a new raw black 17.5cm.  These jeans are priced at 275 and sell out every season.

BALMAIN S/S 10

Monday, January 4th, 2010

This is the collection that every man women and child who even slightly cares about fashion is freaking out for.  Christophe Decarnin has brought the house back from near obscurity and has created the most influential(copied) sillhoutes the market has seen in ages.  The Balmain jacket is a sign not only of wealth but of abrasive disregard for current economic time.  I will sell Balmain with a nihilistic approach, that its all gonna end anyways so we mind as well spend it while its here.  We will be receiving both mens and womens collection, and the good news is that the mens collection is way less expensive then the womens.
