Designer Daily: 10A Suspender Trousers Company

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

The name 10A Suspender Trousers Company is quite literal, like antiquated tailoring shops of eras past. What started as a small tailor workshop called AAAAAAAAAA™ between Daria Dazzan and Matteo Cibic, making 10 one-of-a-kind suspender trousers per month, two years later has become a full collection in a range of fabrics and sizes under the full name. With Daria’s experience under Veronique Branquinho and Hussein Chalayan, and Matteo’s expertise in product and art design, the men’s brand is concisely crisp and extremely well made.

Boutique Critique:: The Reformation NYC: Look 5

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

The Reformation, named for both Martin Luther’s Reformation to a simpler approach, and for the concept of reforming vintage clothes, is a favorite among reformed shoppers like Leighton Meester, Emma Roberts, and Shenae Grimes. Their reasons for shopping The Reformation on the regular could be its low environmental impact from only using vintage clothing and dead stock fabric, or the one-of-a-kind quality of it being made by hand in-house, or the sexy effects of lace, washed silk, breezy prints and zippers. All of those points and more have driven Fashion Indie to it, making this week’s Boutique Critique sustainably sexy.

Yael Aflalo founded The Reformation with her business partner Chi Bui with the initiative of finding vintage pieces to rework into cohesive collections. They scour estate sales and the likes for garments that belong together and redesign them in house. The store is brimming with washed silks, and so is look 3.

At 20 years of age, Yael Aflalo founded her fashion empire YaYa Aflalo out in LA in 1999. Ten years into that business, she switched gears to and began reworking vintage pieces into one-of-a-kind designs. She opened The Reformation LA in 2008 with that concept, and opened this Lower East Side location a few months later.
