Built for Man (BFM) will reveal its Fall/Winter 2011/12 line February 22nd to an invitation-only crowd, and we’d love to offer you a sneak peak at what’s to come!

The BFM showcase is Seattle’s only men’s pre-line collection and the first men’s pre-line fashion runway show since the end of the 1980s.

The brand’s goal is to create clothing and accessories that are both practical and wearable – obvious in the latest designs off the runway. The use of Baby Alpaca wool, Pima cotton, silk, and wool flannel takes “wearable” to mean luxuriously “comfortable.”

Stay tuned for more details on the collection and its big reveal!

One of the hottest menswear lines out there is local line Built for Man. Make sure to check out their Fall | Winter 2010/2011 line – think great gifts for the special man in your life!

On Monday, March 1st at noon David Lawrence opened it’s doors at The Bravern. If you were unaware, they used to be located at Bellevue Square but have made the small cross town journey to their new home, The Bravern.

The Bravern specializes in high end retail so it seems fitting that David Lawrence would be a perfect addition. They carry high end brands for men and women such as Versace, Rock & Republic, McQ by Alexander McQueen, Moschino, Just Cavalli and many more!

The store also carries a few local Seattle designer names including Muratori purses, Built For Man and the one-of-a-kind jewelry from Rock Star Jewelry.

Built for Man is a local fashion-forward company here in the Northwest. According to their website it is “filled with light yet stylish pieces made of natural fibers, our collection is designed specifically to provide you with the most comfortable layering items for this season and every season after.”

They had a fashion show on Tuesday night in Capitol Hill where they showcased some amazing knits from their Fall/Winter 2010 collection – which were all hand loomed and woven in Peru.

They “provide rural communities in Peru with a loom which enables these communities to improve their quality of life and continue their ancient traditional looming techniques. Utilizing the most luxurious yarns—Pima Cotton, Baby Alpaca, and Silk—these communities bring our designs to life and help us to create garments that stand out for their practicality, comfort and style.” You can read more about it on their blog, The Loom Project.

If you’ve never felt baby alpaca let me assure you it’s soft and very luxurious! If you’re interested in checking out the newest collection, head on over to David Lawrence which opens next week at The Bravern!
