The Tim Hamilton Aesthetic

2009-03-23T13:04:00.011-04:00

On the rave of high praises for his menswear fall 2009 collection and a 2009 CFDA nomination, Tim Hamilton brings us his first women´s collection, where he has feminised aspects of his menswear designs. His inspiration was the style of his own mother, who was Lebanese and who Hamilton defines as a darker, more glamorous Elizabeth Taylor with a Dolce Vita look from the 50s and 60s.

The collection is clearly romantic, with Gothic touches and styles from the 20th century. The silk blouses, the emphasized shoulders and unique structure lends the collection a style of its own. And the color palette features lots of black.
