SF: "I Usually Take the Ferrari"-Sonny Crockett

Photobucket

Miami Vice may not be the most serious of television shows, particularly one that would inspire an impeccable men's collection. But, the costume styling behind Michael Mann's television show has culturally been more influential on intelligent fashion since. Fortunately, the same cannot be said about the acting of Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas.

Bright, pastel henleys and relaxed fit trousers in bright blue and soft peach add a playful and colorful feel.


Tailored suits in light, summer fabrics are paired with casual tartan plaids and comfortable espadrille-like shoes. Together they give every man's inner Miami-undercover cop that casual cool confidence.

Add sexy, Miami-influenced tunes made by synth masters like Sorcerer, a Corvette with modified Ferrari doors and a slick speed boat for added sex appeal.

SF: In Bloom

SF: The Rites of Spring

Drawing inspirations from 1930's Deauville, la garconne icons like Coco Chanel, and vintage French Elle magazine's from the 80's, Filippa K has crafted a women's spring/summer collection that is both classical and strong. Traditional French classics (stripes found on working class boaters and fisherman and bright jewel tones inspired by the sea) are found throughout the nautical-inspired collection.

Structured shoulders, tuxedo-style blazers, and summer peacoats are paired with canary yellow knits, royal blue cotton shorts and candy pink silks. They add a balance of meticulous, masculine tailoring and the lightness/softness of femininity (something Coco Chanel had mastered that influences women in the art of dressing well to this day).

Here is just a taste of what is to come at our shop for Spring/Summer 2010:

SF: Teorema

Sometimes it feels like we are running around in circles, trying to be patient and keep sane when it comes to waiting for our Spring/Summer shipments (Filippa K, Helmet Lang, Band of Outsiders, RVCA). The excitement is just too unbearable.
