Twin Designers To-Tam & To-Nya Ton-Nu presented their luxurious womenswear Fall 2010 collection, which also included their new line, TUX for men  which consisted of basic Supima cotton tees. This show was a benefit for Minds Matter, a non-profit organization which held their 9th Annual Spring Soiree last night at M2 Ultra Lounge. Their mission is to transform the lives of accomplished high school students from low-income families by preparing them for college success.

Sachika presented different silhouettes of jersey, rayon, velour, silk, satin, and cotton. The color palette consisted of dark hues such as black, grey, burgundy, purple, and navy. The men’s collection was all white, uniquely constructed tees. As finalists of the Supima Design competition on January 19th, they received positive feedback on their t-shirt collection.
“Men love the comfort of a t-shirt but it is a piece that is more suitable for casual occasions. We wanted to revamp that basic tee into a fashionable, comfortable  and more formal piece – that everyday multi-purpose t-shirt.“

The twins are mainly known for their sexy dresses, and one standout was the form fitting dress with a plunging neckline.

Sachika will be showing at the midwest Fashion week in Indiana on March 20th, Brooklyn Fashion Week on April 11th, and San Francisco on May 1st.

Urban equestrian meets rock and roller for Eric Kim’s new menswear line, Mik Cire. The former CEO and designer of Monarchy impressed the crowd with his edgy yet relaxed, East coast meets West aesthetic. Models walked the runway clad in nattily fit leather motorcycle jackets, lambskin/ cashmere 3/4 length coats with asymmetrical zippers, drop crotch coated denim, cropped wool trousers and pony hair briefcases. Plaid made its way onto the fronts of coats (in a refined but punk, 90’s grunge nod), and flannel blended with cashmere and wool in vests. The result was a tough, yet elegant collection for the NYC urbanite who has a bit of the West coast, Montana range in him. Effortless and endlessly appealing. A gorgeous first for this veteran designer, who is also a father. His adorable baby son made an appearance during his bow donning (would you expect anything less?) dropped red suspenders and wool cap. A perfectly executed show and promising new collection.
