I met Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein a few years ago and quickly understood that this creative duo had something unique and relevant to offer. The well-traveled designers, always clad in their signature looks, consisting of an elaborate equation part 19th-Century dandy and part Sigur Ros, have always taken pride in their debonair outfits and their occasional off-beat inspiration. Never afraid to challenge proportion, pattern and gender, the boys have grown to find a stimulating voice that breathes fresh air into a sometimes stale and unadventurous sphere. Their debut collection, simply called Timo Weiland, is a clear reflection of their artistic lifestyle -– a distinct ode to the city they live in and the people they’ve met along the way.

Spring 2010 marks the launch of their men’s ready-to-wear collection, officially taking the fashion stage this upcoming season. The collection is an extension of their neckwear line that debuted last fall. Similar to their accessory collection, the inspiration behind their new venture lies somewhere between Edwardian England and 18th-Century France. The clean and tailored collection is incredibly fabric- and fit-conscious, with sand-sueded silk charmeuse, crepe du chene and modernized by bold color choices and hints of perforated leather. You can clearly pick out some of their influences from the design world but the young duo have a very distinct sense of self and their work emphasizes their forward thinking spirit.

Among my top picks were the beautiful and slim camel pleated trench-coat, the interesting layered charm of the caftan button-down striped shirts and the origami-esque beauty of a sleeveless petrol blue knit.
