Penshoppe Brand Director discuss what the audience will expect in a while |
The show started with an awesome collection fit for the current generation |
TRAILBLAZER — as the PENSHOPPE Holiday 2011 runway event title — depicts those who conduct their lives off the beaten path: an innovator and pioneer, as it were. A leader is innovative inasmuch as people WANT to follow him or her, and DO — thus, a trailblazer must be emulated, so to speak. A test for an ultimate trailblazing assignment involves the ability to turn over a fruitful discovery into the hands of others.

The idea for the title was born out of a James Bond aesthetic and persona. Thus, TRAILBLAZER actually resonates comfortably as a Bond-film title of sorts. This aesthetic is reinforced further in the catwalk with traces of James Bond themes that will surely trigger vivid associations with the dapper secret service agent.
The given title flows from a natural progression from previous ones — i.e., Revolution, Elevation, and Arrivalist. Once a person has remarkably arrived, setting an example for others to emulate would be the consequent challenge. The title not only describes the brand thrusting forward; but, extends further to those who choose to wear PENSHOPPE merchandise —creating a brand and style loyalty among peers.
According to Penshoppe, their Holiday 2011 collection ups the ante with the latest jeans as its pièce de résistance. Designer and stylist Raoul Ramirez, the person who has put together myriad ensembles for the highly anticipated show, said that they are highlighting the basics, and re-interpreting classic silhouttes.

The collection is, likewise, peppered with dresses, jackets, skirts, and slacks that bring glam back to life! In shades of dusty gray, wicked black, and buff beige, they can be jigsawed for an imaginative, and thought-provoking ensemble. Utilizing fabrics such as flat knit, jersey, and cotton — PENSHOPPE’s latest togs intersperse form and function across climates, and for whatever purpose. See the pictures taken during the show below:
The prints and graphics on the cushy dresses are edgier, and slipping into a pair of high shine boots would make this look rock. If, however, dresses just don’t grab you, a structured coat over a pair of shorts gives that casual yet chic air, or go punk in a leather motorcycle jacket and waxed jeans pairing. Your mood. Your choice!

PENSHOPPE brushes on a gothic fascination too — leg-skimming bottoms and au courant pieces that bring you bold satisfaction — in black, naturally. As the brand continues to churn fashion-forward apparel that its staunch followers can easily relate to, the new collection is bound to get style savants and fashion ingénues in a frenzy
