ACIQ Launch

The End of the Beginning defines ACIQ, a brand that is more a concept that just a fashion label. With the Autumn Winter 2013 collection out we are seeing the first chapter of a venture that will have several moments during the year. Art and fashion are entwined and the androgynous style will find many fans who can wear these garments giving them a new look and personality depending on the mood and the creativity of the wearer.

Nickque Patterson is one of the ACIQ team. His designs blend with the garments made by the other two members of this artistic and fashion orientated trio. Talking to Nickque I've learned of  future projects coming up with art very much involved in everything. www.aciq.co.uk

This beautiful Laum coat is a masterpiece. Made in wool, cashmere and with leather details it is one of those investments pieces that will never go out of fashion. The price is not bad either at £ 610 RRP.

The Laum Long Vest is made of wool and cotton blend with leather details. Very easy to match with anything like leggings or just  a top underneath if black is too much and you want to add some colour. All the pieces are very structured and architectural with sharp lines.

Jessica Chatterton is another member of  the ACIQ team. The launch of this label has been held at the Apartment 58 Club 101 New Oxford Street WC1A 1DB, a  members club for creative types . www.apartment58.co.uk

This is the Mis dress in cotton blend. Styled with the Laum long vest could be an idea if the wearer is not very bold. It could be worn layered with leggings and a top maybe in a bright colour or hot pants and theatrical bra for maximum effect to stand out in a club.
