New Arrivals - A.L.C. Summer 2010 Collection

Created by Andrea Lieberman, A.L.C. is a fully realized collection comprised of daring silhouettes, chic, modular separates, and perfectly engineered basics. The pieces bring new perspective to the needs of a modern wardrobe while improving upon the canon of essentials. The collection is a series of sophisticated must-haves guided by the principle that the way forward is to own clothes you love to wear enough to wear again and again 

Androgyny by Mitchel Primrose

The New Collection:

"Androgyny"

We are very excited here at Code C! We just got the new collection in from Mitchel Primrose, a new-to-the-scene jewelry designer making quite a name for himself. In fact, I think everyone working at Code C placed a separate order with Mitchel for personal use besides what we got for the store. This new collection was inspired by "elements of machined metals mixed with primitive findings. Stone, steel, faux suede and aged vintage beads". We definitely see where he was coming from and can't wait for what's coming next. Me and Sophia picked our top 5 pieces from the new collection to share with you. Let us know what you think and how many you want! ;)

       







'The Amazon Necklace' - Steel, Onyx and Faux Suede ($176) This first piece is number one on our list. We love the simplicity and the raw, tribal feeling of it. Great if you're going for something edgier. Wear it with some distressed combat boots for the ultimate look.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                              

'Onyx High Chief Necklace' - Matte Onyx ($224)
This one is definitely a close 2nd place. Origionally made as a men's necklace, we like it for women too. It's something you throw on with a tank or plain, loose t-shirt and your favorite skinny jeans for a cool, understated look.

'Tribal Necklace' - Faux Suede, Steel and Onyx ($176)
The third necklace is one of our favorites because of how Mitchel organized and mixed the different materials. It looks like something you might do on accident... a VERY CHIC ACCIDENT!! Of course, we know that it all has it's own rhyme and reason and couldn't love it more!


























'Triple Strand Bracelet' - Steal and Onyx ($176)
The two strands of matte onyx go great with the single chain, making this easy to wear by itself or layer with other spikes, studs and chains.

'High Chief Bracelet' - Steel, Onyx and Aluminum ($198)
Simple and Rocker Chic... You might expect to see this bracelet (and many of the other pieces) on the wrist of someone like Kate Lanphear, the Fashion editor at Elle Magazine. If you are unfamiliar - check her out below.

Susan Woo's Fall/Winter Collection at Fashion Week

Susan Woo's Fall/Winter Collection at Fashion Week

New York-based clothing designer Susan Woo presented her 2010 Fall/Winter Collection at theBryant Park Hotel yesterday.

The collection, which consisted of silk and wool pieces in such colors as scarlett, black, cream and olive, were accompanied by shoes designed by Michael Antonio.

Unlike many other collections one might expect to see strutting down a runway this week, every piece in the Susan Woo collection is extremely wearable. Innovative and sophisticated designs were flattering and consistent across the entire line.

Woo, 27, is a graduate of Cornell University who grew up in Roslyn, New York. She cut her teeth working for Derek Lam, Louis Vuitton and and Chanel before setting out on her own. Her first collection was introduced in the fall of 2009.

The environmentally-conscious designer selects natural products such as organic wool and silk crepe. She chooses to have her designs manufactured by only eco-friendly factories that employ fair labor practices

The 2010 Fall/Winter Collection was built around a beautiful cream and black silk crepe full-length gown with a boat neck. "I always start with one piece and it escalates from there," she explains. "It sets the tone for the silhouettes and the tone."

"I love that it is white, because most pieces people wear black in the fall and winter," adds Woo. "It stands out. I love the contrast and how graphic it is."

The Susan Woo line is carried by LouisBoston in Boston, Chalk in Evanston, Ill., Code C in Los Angeles, Debut in New York, and Kaight in New York.
