Tim Hamilton's debut of womenswear at Paris Fashion Week was a success. His thoughts on the collection:
"Well, it’s very aspirational, and very, very feminine, but also kind of hard. I’ve been working with a lot of black, and trying to develop textures within the fabrics. There are a lot of structured pieces—jackets and dresses that are bold and, I’ll use the word again, hard. But hard in a very specifically feminine way—like, the shoulders. I wanted them to feel more forties feminine than eighties futuristic. But the materials are quite modern, almost space-age-y. I am injecting some white, too, so there’s a graphic element, and I’ve done some knitwear, too, though I’m not really incorporating [those pieces] them into my looks because I want the presentation to feel more elevated than that. What else…oh, and I’ve done shoes."
The Muse.
"I spent some time looking at early-twentieth-century Vienna, but mostly, I was inspired by my mom. I grew up in Iowa, but I’m actually half Lebanese, and my mom, she always had this exotic look. She traveled a lot, and she dressed like she lived…wherever. Very elegant, always in black, with lots of thick black eyeliner. And then in the meantime, my dad was this kind of blue-collar, dressed-down kind of guy."
