TIM HAMILTON AN AMERICAN IN EUROPE

THE HUNGER ( L'Atelier say's BRAVO)

A genius mix of draping and tailoring, dresses skimming all contours of the body. High waisted tapered trousers with diagonal pockets and details, shimmering white, seductives black and endless beautiful overlayering.

It does not happen often that America turns out a fashion talent with all the right european flavours, yet The American designer Tim Hamilton appears to be the man of the moment, breaking old habits and making new rules.
Although predominantly a menswear designer, first showing in 2007, he manages to cross the barrier from menswear to womenswear with ease and elegance, leaving no trace of style confusion, his message is clear direct and precise and without ambiguity.

Shortly after launching his women’s wear Hamilton decided to do his first men’s wear show in Paris in June 2009. As history goes, oddly enough Tim Hamilton is the first American based designer to show during Paris Men’s Fashion week.
He presented a stunning eccentric space inspired S/S ’10 collection at the Palais Brogniart, sending his models down the runway emanating an airy feel of transparency. Despite this sudden relocation to Paris, Tim Hamilton is going to keep a presence in New York.

Tim Hamilton is stocked in luxury shops around the world, despite his global success
his business still today remains a small indepently run and funded operation with offices in New York and Paris.

Men's Collection
In men’s wear, Hamilton continues to blur the line between abstract design and fine craftsmanship. He mixes innovative ornamental details and geometric elements with functional simplicity and authentic craft production.
This leads to his street-wear meets tailoring look.

Women's Collection
Alongside men’s wear, Tim Hamilton launched his first women’s collection for the A/W ’09 season. The collection was shown during Paris Fashion Week in March 2009. The Tim Hamilton woman has a strong character. “She knows what she wants,” say Hamilton. This attitude is reflected through bold shapes, a minimal color palette, and an emphasis on textured patterns, all done while remaining feminine with an innate sense of elegance.
