A fresh new wave of talent has washed right over us and made us sit up straight and take notice. Barely three collections old, The Twentyten has already given the fashion scene a much needed stir with their cutting edge designs and contemporary approach.

The label is the brainchild of three immensely creative designers: Nina Zilka, Jeff Dodd and David J. Krause who got together at the Pratt Institute when they discovered they shared similar design sensibilities and a mutual liking for avant garde fashion. Sculpted, gothic and almost whimsical, each ensemble is an interesting juxtaposition of flow and structure. While Collection One (Fall/Winter 2009) weighed heavy on the architectural side with certain pieces that seemed like a brilliant form of fabric origami; Collection Two, their line-up for spring, was all about an interesting amalgamation of austere tailoring and light drapes. The color palette is essentially achromatic with whites, greys and nude tones but the occasional burst of fuchsia, violet and cobalt are as deliciously refreshing. Silhouettes appear to vary quite distinctly. On one hand is the poufy little coral skirt, tad difficult to pull off but remarkable nonetheless, while on the other is a sheer mesh gown. We also love the snail skirt for its versatility and the mesh back long sleeve dress for the evening. As for men; the net cardigan and moto vest is simply dandy.

Collection Three is the Fall/Winter 2010 line-up and take our word for it when we say that it is nothing short of fabulous. With their impeccable tailoring and outrageous designs, who knows, maybe Lady Gaga might chose to be a part of their fan following very soon. Keri Hilson, for one, certainly chose to do so when she sported origami jodhpurs and fluorescent chain-print top for her video Everything, Everyday, Everywhere.

The Twentyten is available at EVA New York and KIFKA + HELLER’s BLANK and will be available online soon.
