Although Commonwealth Utilities is busy with preparation for New York Fashion Week, they were kind enough to share several preview shots from their spring collection, which they will be showing on September 13, 2009. The brief glimpse shows a continued commitment from designer Anthony Keegan to blend casual and formal garments together for a look that is effortlessly chic and above all, in his opinion simply sexy.
Commonwealth Utilities is the dream label of friends and new business partners Anthony Keegan and Richard Christiansen. As founder of the Chandelier Creative Design Agency, Christiansen brings his experience in business to the label, while Keegan, a Central St. Martins graduate designs with “the idea of making men smart, sexy, and a little bit fabulous.” Following their debut collection, fall 2009 treads the line between a sense of rugged masculinity and an exploration of shapes and silhouettes. While pieces like the trench coat are soundly executed, the collection really excels when it moves outside the realm of normalcy with pieces like the boxy knit or Sherwood Kimono.
