In a world where the latest buzz is all about “design collaborations”
it’s refreshing to see one that is seamlessly and intrinsically linked
with outstanding results. Carlos Campos
is fast becoming a star-on-the-rise with his modern menswear
collections featuring well-tailored pieces constructed using
exceptional fabrics. His latest collection for Spring 2009 is a study
in luxe sportswear with clean shapes, attention to detail and a clean
palette of eggshell grey, crisp white and electric blue. The matching
shoe collection by J Shoes
features all the same colors in patent, leather, canvas and the
collection’s feature patterned fabric from as a highlight. Using J
Shoes signature hand-crafted philosophy this collection merges function
with form creating a new style of shoe that is neither classic nor
casual but a comfortable in-between. The result is innovative, luxe
footwear that just seems to “work” without trying too hard! – Kate Vandermeer
