Tim Hamilton's Womenswear FW '09 - photos!

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."

Tim Hamilton for Topman

Women have their LBD (Little Black Dress), men also deserve a good old default. Topman launches a Black Trousers project, which recruit designers to interpret their vision of an iconic product. The top UK chain has enlisted designers, Patrik Ervell, Tim Hamilton, Todd Lynn, Ann-Sofie Back and Aitor Throup for their take on the black trouser.

For Tim Hamilton, who was recently nominated for CFDA's Swarovski Award for menswear, said, "I wanted to create a modern trouser with a lot of detail -- without adding a third leg."

The designer trousers priced at $120 and will be available from the end of August at Topman's London store and soon at the New York flagship in Soho this fall.
