Shrewd marketers with a hi-octane design flair and an uncanny grasp of the luxury market, their Stinson/R. Ely & Partners championed American and British brands throughout its 22-years, successfully transforming once-obscure, Anglo-Americana labels into global brands with powerhouse reputations, from Martin Dingman, Pantherella and Cole-Haan to Robert Talbott and Audrey Talbott, Tommy Hilfiger, Traflagar-Ghurka, Lochcarron of Scotland, and others.
Using bright colors and exotic fabrics to interpret their modern take on traditional classics, Stinson turned to Rochester, New York's Adrian Jules to hand-make its dress slacks, then tapped Carrot-Gibbs Bespoke for hand-crafted neck wear and pocket squares. Mel Gambert Bespoke is crafting dress and formal shirts while New York's British Apparel Collection is creating its hosiery. Lochcarron of Scotland is weaving its Tartans and richly textured flannels.
Although Stinson declined to disclose retail prices, industry insiders predict a RTW collection trafficking at nosebleed prices with barely a handful of rivals and a sliver thin niche of superstar retailers that, beyond Neiman Marcus, Saks, and New York's Bergdorf Goodman, counts less than 100 stores, nationwide.
