Albiate 1830, the denim division of Bergamo, Italy–based Italian mill Gruppo Albini, and Ital- ian denim mill Candiani joined forces to create FineFusions, a collection that showcases “top Ital- ian heritage, cutting-edge thinking and a virtuous spirit.” The Italian mills turned to Los Angeles designer Matias Sandoval, owner of Matias Denim, to create a collection using fabrics from both companies. The results were on display at the Candiani Los Ange- les Design Center in downtown Los Angeles on June 30, where a group of local denim heads gathered to check out the collection, drop in on denim wash demonstrations ALISON A.

06.Candiani.indd 6 7/6/17 7:10 PM NEW RESOURCES Latitude 10 Finds ‘In-Between’ Niche

There is a time in a woman’s life where she wants to wear juniors styles and trends but she is looking for silhouettes and clothes that an adult woman would wear, said Leslie Gardner, a career designer. She serves as creative director for Latitude 10, a recently launched Los Angeles–based brand that plans to serve that in-between niche. The new brand’s tops and dresses offer details such as tassels along with a style that Gardner described as a “trendy, free-spirit- ed, California look.” It offers on-trend style touches such as off-shoulder tops but with more fabric covering the body. The brand intends to keep prices relatively low. Wholesale

price points currently range from $8 to $19, COURTESY OF LATITUDE 10
