Capitol Couture Launch Party

Lanvin

Leyre Valiente

This burnished ensemble, reminiscent of a Capitol sunset, really sets fashion ablaze. Evoking that most-coveted accessory from the 74th Hunger Games, avian fashion is sure to take flight this season.

Mark Goldenberg

A buttress of yarn—it’s not just for your Capitol felines any longer!  Word has it that orange is THE color this season!

Juun. J

Juun.J takes outerwear to the next level with stylized pieces that reflect both  contemporary influence and bold structure.  With over twenty years of design experience, Juun has found the value in inspirational diversity.  "The source of my inspiration is not confined to one matter," he says.  "In fact, everything can inspire my work- city, music, art, forms, people."   

This season, the Juun.J line will feature lighter jackets and trench coats, giving us here in the Capitol the perfect addition to our breezier spring ensembles.  No doubt, his signature strong lines and construction will remain: "My design philosophy is recreation.  I always enjoy the process of recreating classic items; like a formula, you will see that, in all my collections, items evolve each season."  

Nicholas K

With a self-described style of “urban nomad”, the brother and sister team of Nicholas K (Nicholas and Chris) is combining the elements of nature with edgy design, producing a smoldering addition to the Capitol fashion aesthetic.  Nic herself puts special emphasis on materials, stating "Using natural resources helps personify what the Nicholas K man or woman is about."  Creating trends rather than predicting them, this duo concentrates on ready-to-wear styles that feel great and look phenomenal.  

Says Chris, “Life is about education- gaining experiences and trying to be aware of our world […].  We value unique experiences and owning things that are well made and have a great sense of balance.  Integrating utility, design and craftsmanship- when you do these things well customers can feel it.  When [you] buy something that incorporates these things you celebrate it indefinitely, and it enhances your experiences.  We hope that’s what we can offer.” 

Tex Saverio

Drawing inspiration from fantasy tales and ethereal characteristics of the anime art style, Tex Saverio brings an otherworldly nature to Capitol fashion.   Favoring dramatic embellishments and a heavy concentration on craftsmanship and construction, his designs produce a dramatic aesthetic, communicating his favorite part of his job- “Translating fantasy into reality.” 

Next year, Tex will embark on his newest venture in design, allowing Capitol citizens the opportunity to get their hands on his coveted creations: “I will be launching my ready-to-wear collection [next] spring, translating my dramatic designs into wearable extravagance.”  We’re already in line.
