The Block – Fall 2009
Jaiden rVa James
“Evening Punk” is the slightly (okay, very) masochistic, straitjacket-heavy fall collection by Rasham d’Vera Agymang and Jaiden James for their London-based label, Jaiden rVa James.
Katie Eary
For 25-year-old menswear designer Katie Eary, modern fashion is anything but inspiring. “Since the Victorian era, men’s fashion has become a slave to ‘making things easier,’” she laments.
Thomas Engel Hart
Lauded for putting Thierry Mugler Homme back on fashion’s radar during his three years as the line’s creative director, it’s no surprise that Thomas Engel Hart’s eponymous collection has garnered much praise of its own.
Jen Kao
Born in Los Angeles, raised in Kansas City, and now based in New York, designer Jen Kao creates collections inspired as much by her personal experiences as by the signature details of her label.
