HAUTE

This past Saturday we engaged in a fashion show coined “HAUTE,” put on by Brian Graham Salon to benefit Open Arms and The Aliveness Project.  Models provided by Vision.  Here are some of the looks we showcased as we enter the emerging Fall season.

Bacco Bucci Shoes

Seabrook in chestnut $195

David in Cognac $195

A quality shoe is not something to surpass.  Ever brought a less than admirable shoe that you knew was sub par in quality?  And then your feet hurt, knees ache, and they last for a couple months. Great shoes may have slightly higher price tag then a pair of Chuck Taylor’s,  but your investment will be sound.  When the shoe lasts for numerous years, still look great with minimal upkeep, and provide maximum comfort, then you simply don’t need to purchase more and more unworthy shoes.

Bacco Bucci is a new to Elsworth Menswear, but has a long history and reputation of fantastic shoes. In choosing these items for our store, we wanted to have an option that was suitable for Fall conditions.  Here are the specs on our Bacco Bucci’s…

Seabrook: Luxurious Fashion Sport Wingtip, Genuine Tri Tone Old English Suede, Perfectly Executed Subtle Contrast Stitching, Super Cushioned Memory Foam Insole, Handmade In Italy.

David: Contemporary Fashion Bicycle Toe, Super Soft & Supple Italian Calfskin, Injected Comfort memory Foam, Light Weight Flexible Rubber Sole, Handmade In Italy.

ROX Minneapolis

Just in for Fall 2010 are the great items from ROX Minneapolis jewelry.  Hand made and will be noticed as special pieces that are none alike.  View selections of silver Bali beads and African trade beads from Ghana.  Finding the accessories that familiarize with your own character will add that little something to any outfit. 

Marketplace Chicago

Marketplace in Chicago showcases exactly what going on in the men’s clothing business, beautifully tailored garments.  We were able to work directly with the clothing designers and the clothing representatives.  Please know that they do care greatly about what will work best for you.  Taking notice of fit, fabrics, quality and great prices are the flavors that will knock your socks off.  The offerings were outstanding and you will not be disappointed.  Plaid sport coats are a must have for year round use no matter what your age may be.  Simple vibrant color shirts will be offered to freshen up your wardrobe, which will also jump start your day.

Gentlemen, you will be clothed in love when you purchase clothes that were made and sold with love, then you can conquer anything because love conquers all.

Galen Labs Apothecary

Natural Apothecary products at ELSWORTH. 

Galen Labs’ founder Kevin Olson started mixing a foray of natural skin products in his home as an adolescent.

“The first appreciated product I made was a body scrub with olive oil, sugar, and lavender flowers from our garden; my mother loved it.”

Olson’s search for the perfect skin and body care solutions has turned him into a life-long product aficionado. Becoming more and more disenchanted with the performance of the products on the market, he started scrutinizing over their labels and questioning the purpose of so many ingredients. It wasn’t long before he realized that modern skincare was really just a combination of fancy packaging and synthetic ingredients engineered to cheaply replicate nature! I love great packaging,” he says, “but the rampant use of synthetic ingredients is what really got me.” “And for what; higher profit margins?”

In researching the history of skin care, the use of essential oils and other healing elements, Olson became interested in the discoveries of Claudius Galen, a physician who practiced medicine in the second century. A prolific herbalist (among other things), Galen wrote 30 books on pharmacy called Galen’s Pharmacopoeia, where he listed and described more than 700 plant ingredients he used in his prescriptions. (Galen’s Pharmacopoeia was used as standard reference for more than 1,500 years.) In addition to his vast research of medicinal herbs, Galen is credited with creating the very first cold cream; which is still the foundation of all skin care formulas today.

It didn’t take long to realize that these natural formulas still hold the same beneficial properties as they did then. This was the foundation for the creation of Galen 150 A.D. “natural skin care”.

Galen Labs will donate a percentage of our net profit to the Susan G. Koman for the Cure, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.
