August Rush
August Alexander Clothing
Things you associate with August: Dave Matthews concerts, white skinny jeans, and the hot Leo that broke your heart.
Add August Alexander to the list. Unlike the others, he won’t disappear (or bolt) come Labor Day.
Tomorrow, the local up-and-coming designer will unveil his ready-to-wear fall collections, which combine Victorian-era styles and his love of sculpture with sharp lines and bold shapes.
For women, expect ruffles, neutral colors, and exotic fabrics. The men’s designs — suits, T-shirts, denim — have a more vibrant color palette and a relaxed attitude. Something both collections have in common? All jeans feature a lion on the button closure in reference to August’s zodiac sign.
Perhaps just the association you need to forget that other Leo.
Available by phone order (866-588-2539). Trunk show, tomorrow, 6-8 p.m., at The Marquis at West Village, 3700 Cole Avenue, suite 415, Uptown. To see styles, go to augustalexander.com.
