The new collection has a strong American influence taking iconic menswear pieces, reinterpreted with American classicism.

The Menswear Calendar
Menswear, unlike womenswear, is less susceptible to seasonal “trends” or shifts that can happen in the blink of an eye in womenswear. Short, long, print, solid, big geos, ditzy flowers can all be here and gone, over before they began in the women’s fashion sector. Fast Fashion has adopted this to the extreme, building capsules […]
Shh, Quiet Please
Scrolling through my Instagram feed on Monday, a post from BOF (Business of Fashion) caught my eye, referencing the HBO series Succession, of which I am a fan. For those of you who don’t watch the series, it follows the ins and outs of a mega-wealthy family positioning for power within their business empire. It’s […]
Think Pink
Pink in menswear is not something new; in fact, it has been around since the 16th century when the color was associated with power and wealth due to the rarity of the cochineal dye from Mexico. It is only recently that retail has associated it with baby wear and become a color representing more feminine […]
Events
It’s great to see the social calendar back on track, with spring break, graduations, the Derby, and easter all giving me vibes of sunshine and happy days of warmer weather. There is nothing more exciting than having a big celebration or a wedding on a family calendar for the upcoming season, and the idea of […]
It All Starts with Colors
I believe that how you look should make you feel good. As a Designer and Creative, my job is to always have you in mind and design collections that make you feel good by looking good. Yes, it is a little bit presumptuous of me, but if I didn’t believe that we can change people’s […]
It’s a Mad, Mad Fashion World
The Fashion World is often in turmoil as the material it deals with: “FASHION” is an ever-changing world within itself, sometimes completely unpredictable and driven by unexplainable forces that, even for the experts in fashion, at times seem totally bizarre. I don’t try to make sense of it, and whilst I don’t profess to be […]
Happy Thanksgiving
I have learned to really love Thanksgiving as a holiday. Next year I would have lived in America for 20 years, and prior to moving here, I never understood the hype of Thanksgiving from an outsider’s point of view. Turkey is not on my top ten list of favorite foods, and the craziness of black […]
Gifts for Every Man
To think that thanksgiving is already next week is quite shocking. Where did Fall go? Living in Texas, Fall is much slower, later, and almost unnoticeable, with very few trees changing color. I have learned to rely on neighborhood lawns turning wintery brown towards the end of November to indicate the arrival of cooler and […]
Pre-Spring and Resort Collection
This week we launched our Pre-Spring and Resort Capsule, and as part of the Resort update, we are launching a new member to our custom-made J.Hilburn lineup, The Pull-on Pant. The Pull-on pant name describes the characteristic style with an elasticated waistband that permits you to pull on the pant without a button and zip […]
