With an immeasurable amount of experience in the footwear industry, its no surprise that designer Alison Muskat has launched her newest venture, ROCKadelic. Described as Rock 'n' Roll attitude inspired, the versatile men's line exudes a rock appeal with a unique discreetness. Last week I had the pleasure of attending a preview of the collection. I was walked through each design by Ms. Muskat, while she explained her vision for the brand, and the ideal client that she creates for.
One of her key objectives was not to deviate far from some of the classic styles that men are familiar with. She wants to give men a progressive upgrade, while infusing a bit of newness. Although. I have to say she's revamped your father's classics to suit today's man. All while keeping in mind men and their need for convenience. Allison has incorporated details like zippered heels, Velcro straps, and goring in more ways than one. I think men will appreciate that most styles can be slipped on, while giving the appearance of a laced shoe. Another fascinating aspect was her diverse use of textures and washes. She mixed and matched worn canvas on boots, distressed leathers, and wingtips with contrasting oiled cap toes on a neutral color palette. All proving why ROCKadelic looks to be a promising label that men can get behind.
