Cool and Comfy in Rails
And speaking of basic, newcomer Rails offers refined relaxation to anyone looking for cool and comfy additions to their leisure-wear wardrobe and dress-up-dress-down pieces. Designer Jeff Abrams launched Rails during summer 2006, proving that he most definitely knows a thing or two about form, fit, and feel. Because really, looking good doesn’t have to mean compromising your body into unflattering and uncomfortable pieces. (Wearing a style that feels awkward opens the door for a bad day anyway.) With delicate textured screen-print tees, super soft hoodies, simple sweaters, and boxy caps, Abrams’ no fuss spring 2007 collection includes unique styles for the likes of both men and women. Having quickly made its way on some of Hollywood’s most notables, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Alba, Adrian Grenier, Ellen Pompeo, and Evangeline Lilly, Rails can be found in boutique favorites across the country. Think yummy shops like Kitson and Fred Segal. Growing up among a family of artists and holding degrees in political science and business, this 2001 U.C. Berkley grad eventually found his way to Europe after working several years at a major L.A. television studio, a job where he helped launch brands that targeted the same youth demographic that has inspired his direction withRails. And alas, as he worked three years in Italy, soaking in the influences of art and travel, all the while maintaining his desire to creatively explore a new area of interest, Abrams’ vision of this contemporary unisex line took ground. And over here at Agenda, we’re so glad it did.
A line that is influenced by European couture fashion and youthful Southern California lifestyle? And blended into a collection that captures a sophisticated spirit and carefree attitude all at once? Check it out. You’ll be all over it. Written by Elana Pruitt |
