Gaspard Yurkievich Men's Spring 2009

ara — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 04:04:38 -0500

For all the coverage of the Spring 2009 lines debuting in Milan and Paris, we rather liked the looks coming down the runway of Gaspard Yurkievich. The references in shape and embellishment to medieval garb reinforce Yurkievich's image of the modern man--youthful, confident and ready to face the world.

This all makes sense, since in many ways Gaspard Yurkievich represents what a modern independent design house should and could be. Yurkievich designs men's and women's ready-to-wear, bolstered by a strong accessories program. Most will encounter Yurkievich tights, coming in fun, sexy colors and textiles and carried at many boutiques around the world, before they ever see a separate or dress. The Internet? Yurkievich has embraced it. The label's site comes complete with an e-shop, and yes even a blog. They even maintain a Flickr stream with shots from lookbooks, press clippings and the like.
