“The Age of Innocence” Meets “Gangs of New York” with Timo Weiland

Academy Award-winning film for Best Costume Design, the Age of Innocence (1993) was based on the 1920 novel written by Pulitzer-prize winning novelist, Edith Wharton.

Set in the 1870’s, both novel and film depict the inner struggles of an affluent New York lawyer, who must decide to follow the dictates of his heart or incur society’s disdain for any departure from convention.

Directed by the same screenwriter, Martin Scorsese, Gangs of New York (2002) was inspired by the 1928 nonfiction book written by Herbert Asbury.

Set in the 1800’s, the film tells a sanguineous tale of a young man’s revenge against someone who murdered his father in a clash between Manhattan gangs.

For fall/autumn 2010, co-designers Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein bring the two stories together in a magnificent collection of double-breasted suits, tailored button downs, and cut trench coats.

“A Life Full of Holes” by Timo Weiland

Set in an English garden and castle, “A Life Full of Holes” is short film about the passion, ecstasy, jealousy, and rage of two couples—all of which translates into the 2010 spring/summer collection at Timo Weiland.

Born in rural Nebraska and raised between New York City and Jacksonville, Florida, Timo Weiland combines urban styles with a pastoral flair as he pursues an artistic approach to fashion and design.

Influenced by the sewing of his mother from a young age, Timo went on to study Economics, Business Management, Spanish Literature, and Music at Vanderbilt University before pursuing a career in fashion.
