This summer Nina and I moved to a brownstone that sits on the boarder between Bedstuy and Crown Heights in Brooklyn. We live around the corner from a mosque and Halal markets as well as the usual urban haunts like Jimmy Jazz and Cookies. The residents of this mash up effortlessly fuse the unlikely paring in their wardrobe. Men wear oversized bombers and hooded sweatshirts over embellished tunics or a wrap skirts with thermal underwear and Timberlands. These looks, uncommon in most places sparked the beginnings of Alder New York's Fall 2013 collection.
We embellished traditional patterned shirts with neon and metal sequins and created full legged shorts and skirts to mimic the local looks. This season we also work with accessory designer Robin Mollicone to create necklaces, pins, key chains, and rings. As always all of our garments are made in the USA from the best quality fabrics and materials. This season additionally marks our first collection using Woolrich wools made in Woolrich, Pennsylvania. Check out the Alder New York website where you can shop previous collaborations with Robin Mollicone and soon be able to buy pieces from the Spring 2013 collection.
