A faithful reprise of the original design, Stinson modeled his line-up of Hollywood Waistband dress slacks in a mostly two-pleat front silhouette. But his most avant garde look is the Astaire Collection, a design modeled after the 4-pleat-front, Hollywood Waistband slack Fred Astaire re-designed and nicknamed his "third dance partner."
Equally risky, Stinson chose a color story that snubs the expected list of Fall-hued earth-tones and instead touts a Spring-like palette that tilts heavily toward jewel-tone brights and includes Ketchup Red, Eggplant, Raspberry, Burnt Orange, Butterscotch and others.
Despite his luxe label's freshman status, Stinson ranks a veteran designer who boasts an enviable list of design clients. Over his brand imaging firm's 22-year tenure, Stinson and his longtime partner and co-designer, Robbi Ely, created the press and editorial collections for a bevy of top American and British luxury labels, including Robert Talbott and Audrey Talbott, Cole-Haan, Martin Dingman, Tommy Hilfiger, Insignia Design Group, Pantherella, Seaward & Stearn and others.
Born from the 22-year-old, Stinson/R. Ely & Partners, Inc. – the brand imaging, design and PR firm formed in 1988 by Andy Stinson and Robbi Ely -- the debut collection of their luxe menswear brand features neckwear and pocket squares, dress slacks, sport coats, hosiery and dress shirts.
