Most of us are in denial that fall is upon us and you can’t blame anyone with heatwaves and scorching temps much across the country at the moment. But whether we admit it or not, windy brisk days will soon be upon us bringing with it the fall mood of pumpkin spice and cocooning into […]

Stylish and Warm
I confess that I really love outerwear, particularly this time of year when I am thinking ahead to when chilly mornings are an unwelcome start to my day. I find having the right outerwear can help you get a good start, headed out to the cold car and on with your day. I think having […]
Fall Winter Highlights Part 2
Last week I introduced the new Fall Winter 2023 collection focusing on shirting, outerwear, and pant highlights. This week as a continuation, I am highlighting suiting and knits to complete the new lineup available now as our clients plan their seasonal wardrobes. One of the many aspects of choosing a custom-made wardrobe is that you […]
Fall & Winter 2023 Highlights Part 1
The new season at J.Hilburn is underway with updates across all categories from our shirting, suiting, casual, and even formal. The new collection has a strong American influence taking iconic menswear pieces, reinterpreted with American classicism. From the mood of pioneers and prairies to the golden age of New York society, the new collection redefines […]
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 […]
