Ainsley Teaser Pt. II

The second teaser video is finally here! If you think this video ROCKS, wait until you see the entire collection! Ainsley will be presenting at New York Fashion Week at Exit Art on Feb. 11.

Ainsley Presentation Fall 2012

Ainsley is excited to announce the presentation of its fall 2012 collection during New York Fashion Week at Exit Art.

The presentation will include a series of vignettes designed to convey the vibrant spirit of the Southwest that influenced the fall collection.

Ainsley has the market cornered with the vintage-inspired, yet distinctly modern, clothing it produces each season. This fall is no different. Ainsley will provide a glimpse into the fall collection, full of warm, earth tones, Native American-inspired motifs and free-flowing silhouettes. The collection draws from the colors and textures of the desert, incorporating cactus greens, burnt reds and brilliant turquoise hues that pop against the earth tone scheme of browns, tans, greys and whites.

Stay tuned for the next teaser video that will debut this Thursday!

Qi, a cashmere knit line based in New York, is spinning off a contemporary sportswear label called Ainsley. Retailing from $210 to $900, Ainsley incorporates washed silk, wool, moleskin, stretch leather and tweed in the patch sweaters, belted vests, cargo pants and some 40 pieces composing its fall inaugural collection.

“It’s vintage with a modern twist,” said Jessica Bortko, Ainsley’s sales manager, adding that she hopes to achieve $1 million in first-year sales through better boutiques and high-end department stores.

About Ainsley

What?
A collection of limited-edition pieces that have modern design and durability.

Who?
Ainsley is a woman of culture. She was born in Manchester, England and moved to the United States when she was 12 with her family. She fondly remembers going to Chelsea London on the weekends with her mother to shop for leather and tweed pieces where she was introduced to countless artists, sculptors, and musicians. Ainsley channeled her passion of work into her personal style.

Ainsley's style is both practical and self-expressive. She looks for pieces that have an amalgamation of the old and the new, such as leather miniskirts, patch sweaters, and vivid prints, as well as clothing that fuses her love of modern edginess with a classic British elitism.


Why?
Ainsley is a product of what she is experiencing in today's society: recession, war, global warming, the Social Age. She sees current fashion as unoriginal and doesn't follow the trends. She is tired of seeing the same designs and overpaying for inferior products. She creates pieces that reflect her own experiences and personal desires. Ainsley thrives on choice, durability, and versatility. She believes in a new fashion realism that clothes must work over and over, from day to night, and season to season.

New York
