Gilyard’s newest addition for spring will fit just right
in your closet. The collection is a perfectly priced ($25-$100)
companion to their men’s lifestyle collection and is headed
up by Krista Brown. Ms. Brown starts Gilyard in an impressive
direction as her background in apparel speaks for itself: Polo Jeans,
Nautica, Champion and Akademiks.
Ms. Krista Brown joins veteran designers and key industry players
in an attempt to dismantle the cookie-cutter approach to creating
and marketing brands for the “streetwear” consumer.
The highly anticipated launch for ladies will have the same strong
aesthetics as their graphic and contemporary men’s wear but
taken to the delicate side. Focus will be silhouettes, denim
washes and fit. Ms. Brown takes the ladies collection in the
vintage realm and introduces tinted indigo and raw wash denim.
It will reflect the men’s wear collection with nautical nuances
that will be available in two groups: core and fashion will be available
in three color ways navy/white/red, purple/pink/fuchsia and the
neutrals: brown/orange/khaki. Look for great seasonal pieces
in lightweight outwear, two piece fleece suits, sexy embellished
tee’s and polo’s to pull together with their stretch
denim jeans and skirts.
Gilyard has something rarely found in other street wear brands.
a sporty, wearable collection that was filled with color and has
crossover appeal.
CEO/Design Director, Dontay Wilder says, “ when we
started the company our objective was to create quality products
for the working class guy. We know that our consumer appreciates
his role and lives by the motto ‘Work Hard Live Well.’
He’s the guy who handles his responsibilities first, he’s
goal-oriented and stylish, yet he’s smart about his spending
and knows that quality and style doesn’t have to be compromised
for price. Therefore it was only right that we take this same approach
as we created a line targeting his female counterpart.”
Get cool and comfortable while looking sexy and sporty this spring.
Gilyard will be hitting stores this Spring 2007.
