Elmer Ave.

Or click here to launch in a separate window.

For Elmer Ave., menswear is the name of the game, both for men and women.  But not just menswear but menswear with a punky egde.  Fortunately, the designers of Elmer Ave. are no stranger to this game.

Sure, the slacks and blazers have a traditional fit, but the details of piping and fabrics (not to mention choice of edgy models) redefine the traditional definition of what menswear should be.  Coats, vests, fishnets.  Nothing about this collection says "average" or "conventional"
