Maiden Noir . Campus Hoodie

 

Maiden Noir – love the brand, the design (fully lined shorts),  fabric choices (chambray, twill,  french terry),  fits ( adult slim),  feel ( soft hand ) and the philosphy as retold in the video playing on the post below. Pieces are designed in the USA and developed in Japan with Japanese fabrications and amazing attention to detail. As is evidenced in the super light weight french terry Campus Hoodie pictured above. Loving it.

 

Being no stranger to the fashion world, Nin Truong (Creative Director) has worked with brands like Nike, Stussy, and Timberland. With the current release of his tenth season,  Maiden Noir  is a brand that at times may seem a little dark with a subtle undertone of a sub-culture theme. Each season is complemented with an intricate story that intertwines each garment for a cohesive collection.

Oliver Spencer . Waxed Fisher Jacket

 

A good friend in the business (Ilan) would rave to me about Oliver Spencer and had peeked my interest for the brand a few seasons back, but nothing before it’s time. Eventually I got a call from another friend (Jennie) that had recently started her own showroom in NYC and was representing this brand (Oliver Spencer) from the UK that she thought would be perfect for Canvas. Both of friends were so right, because we really appreciate this brand for, their quality, their details and their designs. Sp10 is just the beginning. Enjoy Oliver Spencer!!!

Founded in 2002, rag & bone had one very clear vision in mind: to make clothes that they and their friends would love to wear every day.   Beginning in Kentucky, rag & bone surrounded themselves with people who had been making patterns, cutting fabric and sewing their whole lives. Working with these kinds of craftsmen taught them the importance of quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail early on.
