A design-led re-launch of the Buffalo David Bitton brand will ensure it charges even further ahead of the denim pack.

Buffalo David Bitton is a brand associated with an eye-catching product. In its 25-year history it has notched up a dedicated following from the US to Croatia, from singer Lemar to fashion column regulars Victoria Beckham and Mischa Barton.

At a time of economic uncertainty, Buffalo David Bitton continues to grow and with the return to the design team of David Bitton himself, momentum is gathering.

Bitton’s expertise is palpable in autumn 09’s women’s wear range. Emphasis is on street wear and the range sits alongside high-end denim labels.” The autumn collection includes a colourful mélange of checks and floral prints fused with glitter, while puffed sleeves and oversized shirts take inspiration from the hippy trends of the 1970s to complement the vast selection of denim, and the sleek dresses and tops in nude and black add sophistication.

The checks and graphic prints are reflected in the menswear range. Exquisitely made clothes that flatter and don’t break the bank are key ingredients, and Buffalo David Bitton’s jeans are certainly enticing.

The brand has embraced organic materials and its denim incorporates 2% Spandex to memorize body shape. Buffalo David Bitton plans to re-launch the brand for UK retailers with ideas for shop fitting and marketing support. It’s a potent mix and will ensure the love affair with Buffalo David Bitton continues for years to come.
This goes with that and that goes with this, A vivid floral tie will go with denim, use your imagination don’t be governed too much by style gurus, set your own standards and be creative. Make potatoes stamps and get some fabric dye, it’s that easy, cut any shape you like and just experiment. Get a few old white shirts and some water colours, using a fine artist brush paint straight lines vertically and then go to work with your potatoes stamp. Arrows are good, like imitations of the mouse curser, turn it upright and it looks like a pine tree.

They used to sew patches on jeans, not to patch tears or rips, just because it was stylish, so everyone would compete with patching their jeans. Some bright spark developed iron on patches, no sewing skills necessary, and iron and iron board sales sky rocketed. Flairs were in, and then out, then in, then out. Now the old bootleg is back, and, skinny jeans that cut off your circulation, but what the heck, you look really good in them even after you pass out on the lawn.

Floral shirts for men are all the rage, just like in the late sixties and early seventies; Ben Sherman was an innovator in this corridor. In fact the resemblance, now to then, is identical, just the brand names are different. Get out the potato stamps and dyes.

So what I’m on about is, David Bitton, (a great designer), draws from historic inspirations that are governed by the law of repetition. Give another ten years an all will come to pass.

Anyway, styles have the ability to transcend regions, North, South, East and West, they cross all cultural boundaries and eventually adapt to particular environments according to climate and materials. Style is for ever.
