This made it to RMJ because since the teasers surfaced in 2007, this has to be hands down one of the most controversial brands to date. Initially, at 1st glance, I was not a fan of the brand what so ever and for good reason. One becomes tired of the repetition of “re-creating “ classic silhouettes and calling it their appreciation or their own interpretation. Like the infamous all-over print, I don’t necessarily believe its dead, because when executed right, 9 times outta 10 you have a great piece. I feel the same for the “re-creation” of classic designs. The American-Italian brand, Gourmet, eventually captured my attention as I was able to view the product in person and gave it a slight test run thanks to Commonwealth.

I am convinced this brand is solid. I think they are taking a classic design and giving it a premium twist. In a sence, it is more elegant and casual then the normal gaudy colors we are all used to. I dont expect everyone to like it, for it is an aquired taste. I do believe it will attract the attention of the more mature and fashion forward crowd. Here are two styles and colors I personally thought were well done and look very dope in person.
