High-end European lifestyle label ---CLOSED is a sophisticated take on streetwear...with great details, functional tailoring and comfy fabrics that set it apart from others in the contemporary fashion world of men's and women's casual attire.

On the last day of the most recent NYFW-right before the trade shows kicked in, CLOSED through itself a welcoming party at the hip, downtown Manhattan, Bowery Hotel---that served as an intro for us- but that apparently, is well established across the POND via multiple stores including our fav 14oz- Berlin...---and worn by in the know Hollywood celeb types who epitomize what's cool is today- without trying too hard (like Brad Pitt and funny enough, Justin Timberlake who has his own line-William Rast).

Some of the Fall/Winter 2012 pieces for men and women- were hung up on racks to peruse----included nicely tailored, crisp button downs-with a slim, flattering cuts, well done knits, outerwear jackets with plenty of pockets, and fitted blazers...and really, really terrific denim, made with Italian flair, of course--- including skinny, boyfriend, and flared- for women-and slim cut enough for guys without looking too precious. Innovative versions of the basics...to live in.
