Welcome to the Gilded Age

Wave goodbye to Summer.

In three weeks, models take Manhattan for Fashion Week, and it’s officially okay to think about Fall.

Which is an excellent thing for Gilded Age, a new handcrafted line with Old World charm.

Inspired by the techniques and craftsmanship of the early 19th century, company founder and designer Stefan Miljanic cranks out premium clothing with vintage appeal. The complexity of his artful line lies in the details: natural indigo dying, textured stitching, hand knitting, and the materials: organic cotton, fine Mongolian cashmere yarns.

Fall 07 features even more high-end denim, handsome, naturally worn-in wool suits, soft coats, and an accessories line (think distressed belts, cashmere hats, and scarves in a variety of textures and gauges).

According to Miljanic, “Our brand is an attempt to bring to the present a small part of the craft that originated in the Age of Gild.”

Good move.
