Designed by Founder and Senior Designer Alyssa Key, alongside newcomer Devan Markiewicz, Love Brigade’s next 10 collections take inspiration from their personal experiences and own interpretations of the different phases of an intimate, satisfying, and ultimately painful relationship between two soulmates. This theme, unveiling a new stage each season until Autumn/Winter 2016, is illustrated throughout the collection with the use of Love Brigade's signature dark, muted color palette and a distinctive motif that brings every piece together. The 10-collection series will provide us an introduction into all of the subsequent stages of the “soulmate” relationship; from the wonderfully carefree beginnings, to the heart-wrenching demise, to the eventual healing and hopeful rebirth of the individual. The street-smart, tactile fabrics and deep colors used in each piece evokes a sense of emotion that only this design trio can produce. The collections will feature more voluminous silhouettes than seen in previous Love Brigade collections. 

We embark on the first stage of the relationship in S/S 2012, “Stage I: The Union”.  The collection personifies the heady, lighthearted and sometimes vulnerable emotions associated with the union of two people, albeit lovers, friends, or family. In contrast to the darker feel of A/W 2011, these designs are a little more revealing mixed with flirty gathers and ruffles giving a sensual feel to the individual pieces.  "’The Union’ takes place right before the starry-eyed phase of enchantment. It's indicative of putting yourself out there, wearing your heart on your sleeve, and having an open-mind.  The pieces in this collection represent that", says Senior Designer Alyssa Key. The prevalence of dark and neutral striped fabrics signifies the hard and soft contrast of the individuals’ selves prior to meeting versus the gearing up for potential love. The signature piece in this collection is the “Secret Garden Dress”, dark gray and natural striped linen with a small peephole above the stomach and below the chest, this voluminous, tightly gathered fairy tale dress perfectly captures the bold playfulness of the union phase. For Love Brigade’s man, a new fit of their classic Danger Pants, safe yet stylish cut-and-sew garments, and cohesive graphic tshirt groups are to be expected.

The collections will be available in select retailers around the world, at Love Brigade's self-branded retail store at 230 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211, and online at www.lovebrigade.com.
