Paul Marlow (co-designer for Loden Dager) with friend

A designer and his collection are usually a reflection of one another. We met Paul (right) at the Loden Dager Fall '08 presentation where this statement holds truth: a brand coming into light for its timeless pieces with detailed yet functional characteristics is paralleled by its designer's own wardrobe.

Paul uses accessories as layering options, being sure to keep his look sharp by not overpowering with too many colors or too much weight. His sleeves are rolled up, relaxing the vest to a more casual level—the perfect complement to blue jeans.
