We admit it—we have a soft spot for local designers. And this spot gets even softer when luxe fabrics like cashmere and modal blends enter into the mix. B. Son San Francisco has quickly captured our hearts with said fabrication and cutting edge design that’s so very wearable. And we’re not the only ones; B. Son San Francisco won the Sportswear International Awards Best Newcomer in 2007.

From famed women’s knitwear designer Rebecca Beeson, this menswear line also embraces women with artfully crafted androgynous style. How very San Francisco!

This season’s collection gains inspiration from San Francisco bordellos in the time of gold mining. If those miners who frequented bordellos wore such lush styles, we may have to do a little panning ourselves. But then again, we’ve already struck gold with B. Son San Francisco.
