Nearly a year ago at the Silver Spoon
Hollywood Emmy Buffet, we made the acquaintance of rock musician
Nikki Lund and professional surfer
Maikai Makena. Although, like other
rising stars, they were there for the networking, they were also
there to introduce the young, beautiful and style conscious to their
new clothing line Eccentric Symphony.
Though the nascent collection was quite simple, it was the clean
style of embroidery and subtle tailored details that caught our
attention. It also caught the attention of most of the celebrities—and
others—clamoring for the stylish thermal tops and hoodies.
Fast forward to late Summer 2006, where Lund and Makena are now
enjoying rock star status in the world of casual fashion. Since
their splashy entrance, Brad Pitt,
Angelina Jolie, Molly
Simms, Kate Beckinsale,
Drew Barrymore, Cameron
Diaz, Natalie Portman and
some of Brillstein-Grey’s top clients have purchased countless
items from their ever expanding collection. Beyond that, nearly
100 stores around the US and the UK are stocking their stores with
Eccentric Symphony’s latest compositions. Adding to their
good fortune is the fact that several contestants from So
You Think You Can Dance (ABC’s #1 Summer series) were
caught on tape wearing the clothing.
Eccentric Symphony dares to be different by expanding their line
intelligently. The base colors for the garments are warm, earthy
neutrals this fall, with garmets that are true to size and embroidery
and silk screens that make a statement and genuinely look
“rock and roll” without screaming too loud. Plus, the
clothes feel soft and comfortable on. While some surfer influences
are apparent in the lines for men and women (especially with panels
that are sporty and slimming), Lund is infusing an extra bonus into
the experience of falling in love with something from the line—all
the hang tags include CD samplers of songs from Secret
Mind, the band she fronts with her younger brother.
It’s been wonderful to see how this line has grown and evolved
since our introduction to this dynamic duo, and we look forward
to great things in 2007. As they say on the radio, stay tuned!
