Call it whatever you’d like, the offerings of American designers for this in-between season have taken center stage on the world’s fashion front in the past couple weeks.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America made a recommendation in late 2008 that designers concentrate their Resort presentations in the first two weeks of June, rather than showing over a haphazard period of almost six weeks.

In 2002 -- with no formal fashion training -- British transplants Marcus Wainwright and David Neville formed the Rag & Bone label (an old English term used to describe a man who collects unwanted items). Marcus and David’s first priority was to learn how to make jeans, as they believe jeans represent history, authenticity, and fundamentals.
They had a simple mission for Rag & Bone: to create clothes that they and their friends would love to wear everyday. Commenting on their lack of fashion training, Marcus stated that starting with a blank slate has been a great experience – one that has enhanced their creativity because they were not constrained by what they had already been taught.
