Take it to the streets!

It no secret that we love scoping out what people are wearing around the world, but in the last couple of weeks we've spotted some cool kids wearing pieces that you can pick up right here at EVA!


This girl-on-the-go was snapped by Jak and Jil for style.com's Paris fashion week blog. She's wearing shredded pants by BANUBORA that can be found at EVA on Bowery.



Who doesn't love a head-to-toe look? See, it IS possible to wear bold patterns and still remain as relaxed as ever. The fellow above was shot by The Facehunter. We happen to carry all of the pieces seen above, with slight variation:
Bolivia Cardigan / Bolivia Cap / Collective Trouser (we have them in blue)

Its raining, we're smiling.

So the weather here in NYC has recently taken a turn towards the cold, gloomy, and wet. Yep, its that time of the year again when the changing of the seasons has made itself VERY well known. Luckily, we have some pieces here at EVA that are built to combat the elements and change a drab day into a celebration of sartorial selection!


1. Imagine: its autumn, leaves are falling all around, you can see your breath as you sigh, and you're feeling romantic. What's more appropriate than a wool cape? There's as elegant as the sweeping silhouette of this Henrik Vibskov number paired with leggings and boots up to your knees (or thighs, depending on your neve). Plus pockets? We're totally sold.
Henrik Vibskov - Hlunker Poncho ($672)

2. We're suckers for jumpsuits, and are thrilled that we can continue wearing them as the thermometers drop. This particular piece by Stine Goya combines the functionaity of deep pockets and a stretchy waist with the flash of a wrap-around zipper and unexpected cut of the pants. Still not convinced that one-pieces are the key to happiness? Remember that by donning a coverall, you only have to settle on ONE piece of clothing, eliminating any stress of seperates.
Stine Goya - Jumpsuit ($441)

3. Here at EVA, we tend to be drawn towards a darker color pallet, which is why we triumphantly embrace accessories that pop out against a sea of noir. Reminiscent of legoland & childhood nostalgia, these Henrik Vibskov mittens make us think of a time when finger painting was the pinnacle of expression, and figuring out the perfect layering pieces was was up to mom, not the difficult and task it is today.
Henrik Vibskov - Acid Tiger Mittens ($147)

4. The natural remedy for arctic apartments is a good ol' sweater, but the EVA girl tends to push the enevelope a bit...we say, why not wear sweater pants? These cobalt Henrik Vibskov trousers mimick the ease of a pullover, but are anything but basic. We're still not done with the drop-crotch look, and in bright blue they'll distract you from the fact that your heater hasn't been fixed since last winter.
Henrik Vibskov - Collective Trouser ($411)

5. Who says you can't wear dresses in the wintertime? As avid fans of frocks, we turn to longer sleeves and heavier fabrics to make our garb of choice more practical. This dress by Samantha Pleet offers a step up - a flirty cutout that is reminiscent of our favorite crop tops from summertime, but with weather-appropriate wool to keep us warm.
Samantha Pleet - Over The Top Dress ($322)

6. I DARE you to wear these thick-knit C.Neeon leggings without cracking a smile. Oh, and they'll keep your legs from freezing as well.
C.Neeon - Kauz Legging ($248)

BLAND by Teddy Willoughby



"Willoughby's all-black womenswear collection is illuminated with a strobe light, emphasizing the collection's mixed references to both campy horror film and complex noir. The designs are extraordinarily elaborate, with details hidden beneath other details: metal studs, coursetry and rivets, buried beneath drapes of jersey cloth and black lace. The designs are abrasive and intense, but ultimately functional and highly wearable." - JC Report

The following pieces are now available at EVA in store, and online. Sizes are limited, however we are able to special order from the collection.


Strapless Rib Dress

Moto Blazer

Beetle Skirt

C.Neeon Fall Shipment

"one cannot live without champagne and gypsies"
The c.neeon collection is inspired by the Russian artist and fashion designer Sonja Delaunay, who cofounded the Orphism art movement in the first half of the 21st century. The collection draws from the movement’s experimental use of strong colors and geometric shapes. In order to complete their playful yet clear and strong looks c.neeon were searching for key accessories. "We found the perfect match in MYKITA's modern, retro-inspired Collection No. 2 glasses, and Rike Feurstein's stylish, sculptural hat silhouettes and surfaces", explains Clara Leskovar of c.neeon, "so we immediately decided to collaborate. Rike has done a color palette especially for c.neeon to match our collection".

Now available in store!
