Prey for the Hunted

One look into Tim Hamilton’s humble beginnings and you might not guess that the man was on his way to being a major force in mens’ fashion. This same young man who grew up as the youngest of seven in children in Iowa has now received the coveted CFDA Swarovski Award for Menswear. While the label that bears the Tim Hamilton name is only 3 years old Tim is no stranger to the fashion word having come from a design internship with Ralph Lauren and a Parsons education.

Looking at the Tim Hamilton Spring 09 Collections that should be in stores soon there are a number of really sharp silhouettes. I think the bold primary colors and some of the styles definitely barrow from the 80’s but the tailored fits and use of layering is decidedly modern.

I have been digging around to find places online to see and buy the individual pieces with little to no luck. You can check out all the looks at Tim’s website , or go see things in person at Bergdorfs in NYC or at Jake in Chicago.
