dan weaver fall 2008

word is that dan weaver, one of hawaii's most watched up & coming indie designers, is putting the finishing touches on his fall 08 collection which will make its official debut next friday.

dan graduated from the uh fashion program and, project runway fans take note, his design chops got him all the way to the third round of last season's audition process. and, while he may not have made it to the big show yet, he did score face time with the impeccable tim gunn.

here's the 411 on the collection:

"the fall o8 collection borrows buffalo plaid and classic americana construction concepts while creating original pieces/looks that place emphasis on classic natural waste [sic] line silhouettes. also timeless styles / concepts / applications are given new life, from the cuffs to the collars. as always extensive detail is paid to color and my love for small color changes in fabric juxtaposition."

see what all the fuss is about and hele over to dan's website to reserve your spot for the fashion show (reserved ticket holders will also score a swag bag filled with goodies and a dw tee).
