Our friends at Columbian clothing brand A New Cross have made a beautiful video showcasing their fall/winter clothing. I love the moody lighting, great special effects and driving baseline. My heart started to race when I glimpsed the model’s shoes; they make such amazing shoes!

If you missed our coverage of the A New Cross fashion presentation you can find it HERE.

The collection is available exclusively at one of our favorite DC stores: Redeem.

A New Cross for Redeem - Fall Winter 2011

When we were asked to help host Redeem’s Fifth Year Anniversary party we didn’t hesitate to say yes. We were especially excited when we learned an exclusive collection from Colombian line “A New Cross” would be featured. There is so much to love about the unique designs of Nicolás Rivero and David Angel - the unisex styles, innovative & avant-garde silhouettes and handmade details of the collection are all exceptional (available only at Redeem). See our pictures of one of the best fashion presentations to ever be featured in DC (more pictures of the unforgettable evening coming soon):
