Preview — KZO Spring 2010

Cyana Trend Land shares with us a pre­view of KZO’s upcom­ing spring 2010 col­lec­tion enti­tled, “Into The Blue”. Made in Japan, the col­lec­tion offers up the qual­ity of Japan­ese work­man­ship, while still main­tain­ing a look that is com­fort­ing and mind­ful of the wearer. Fea­tur­ing gar­ments that are loose and relaxed, the col­lec­tion puts the leisure in suit­ing, while ele­vat­ing easy to tackle pieces like the cardi­gan to styl­ish levels.

“Hallowed Ground” — KZO Fall 2009

Los Ange­les based label, KZO approached the fall sea­son with the eco­nomic cli­mate in mind, but did not let it dom­i­nate the direc­tion of the col­lec­tion. Instead of com­pro­mis­ing their vision and try­ing to make pieces to please every­one, the focus was placed on cre­at­ing a col­lec­tion of char­ac­ter. Inspired by nat­u­ral­ist John Muir, the quality-​​driven col­lec­tion is dark and rugged.  Gray is the promi­nent color and the pieces are any­thing but over­worked, hav­ing an effort­less nat­ural qual­ity.  Embrac­ing a close, but com­fort­able fit, KZO’s fall col­lec­tion has the capac­ity to bring the sim­ple, clean nat­u­ral­ist out in everyone.

KZO x Unholy Matrimony Spring/​Fall 2009

SPRING 2009

KZO and Unholy Matrimony’s Brett West­fall have man­aged to turn out another plaid-​​crazed col­lab­o­ra­tion where mix­ing two dom­i­nant plaid prints is not taboo. The col­lab­o­ra­tive effort is onto some­thing when it comes to pants. The slim cropped pants are an unex­pected stand­out and just the right piece for any fashion-​​forward wardrobe. Lucky for us, this piece tran­si­tions into the fall col­lec­tion in a much heav­ier mate­r­ial to join the long john inspired sweats.

KZO Fall 2008

KZO is based out of down­town Los Ange­les.  The label was cre­ated out of the inabil­ity to find clothes with “high atten­tion to details, fab­rics, fab­ri­ca­tions, fit, global qual­ity, and point of view.”  These details have mate­ri­al­ized into a fash­ion for­ward cloth­ing line that meshes a cer­tain rugged­ness with inter­est­ing sil­hou­ettes.  Sport­ing a sea­son appro­pri­ate earth toned color palette and indi­vid­ual pieces per­fect for the guy that con­stantly lay­ers, this is a fall col­lec­tion to pay atten­tion to.
