It’s safe to say that an established model knows fashion just as well as an established designer. Model Erin Wasson decided to pair her expertise in both genres for her design debut with Erin Wasson x RVCA  Spring 2010 collection. Having seen Miss Wasson amongst the thousands at Opening Ceremony on Fashion’s Night Out, the collection is very much her personal style translated to the runway. It’s grungy. It’s vintage. It’s downtown. It’s everything you’d expect a model to stroll through the streets of Soho wearing. Loving the gauzy, top/pant set as well as the hole-ridden, oversized top!

GALLERY: RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Erin Wasson x RVCA Spring 2010

Thanks Style!

Erin Wasson is bringing her first runway show at Bryant Park’s biggest Tent venue to 1,100 guests.

The show, which is for both her RVCA line and her Low Luv jewelry collection, is set for Friday, Sept. 12 at 8 pm and will feature both a multi-media installation and a “special musical guest to play live on the catwalk.”

We let you know last month that Erin Wasson x RVCA was set to launch February 1 in stores and online.   But it looks like the goods are nowhere to be found just yet.

Fashionologie reports, “According to RVCA, there’s been a week delay for unspecified reasons.”

Erin Wasson’s anticipated collaboration with RVCA has been given a launch date of February 1.

In August Wasson signed a 3-year deal with the skater-influenced brand

Expect Alexander Wang-inspired grungy basics of black, white, and gray, and of course, denim cut-offs.  Her line will be available in the U.S. at Opening Ceremony, Barney’s, and Ron Herman.

Thanks for the info, Bleach Black.

Thanks Is Mental!

Rumor has it that Erin Wasson just inked a three-year deal to design a line for RVCA, and Opening Ceremony has already bought the spring 2009 collection. Now that she’s finished working with Alexander Wang, she’ll have more time to work on stuff such as this and her jewelry line. Wasson’s first collection for the surf-and skate-inspired label includes denim cutoffs, a wool miniskirt, a silk button-down with thunderbolts, and a blazer with a zipper up the back.

Thanks NY Mag for the rumor.
