Hudson Jeans, Bloch, Bensimon and BlankNYC – Fall 2010

I was invited to attend a Fall/Winter 2010 media preview at Brassaii recently. Four different brands were being showcased:

• Hudson Jeans including their core and new high-end line comprised of jackets, jeans, and tops exclusive to Holt Renfrew

• Blank’s amazing high-quality, low-priced denim

• Bloch’s famous flats in addition to their boots, heels, sneakers (new launch), Green Room Apparel (new launch) and a collaboration with Akira Isogawa (new launch)

• Bensimon sneakers

Bloch has come a long way from being a leader in the technical dance market to making Hollywood’s favourite luxury ballet flats.

For Fall 2010, Bloch introduces a line of ankle and mid-calf high boots ($210 -  $420):

the gray ones are my fave

Next up is another celeb-favourite item: Hudson Jeans. I liked the skinny flap-pocket ones the most ($265). Hudson Fall 2010 collection will be available in August at major retailers including: Aritzia, Holt Renfrew, TNT. They will also be introducing a Holt Renfrew exclusive FW 2010 collection.

If you’re looking for the fit and integrity of a premium jean at an affordable price, you might want to check out the BlankNYC collection at  Mendocino, TNT, or The Bay.
