The University of Washington will be hosting INdependent
The University of Washington will be hosting INdependent: A Style Event to introduce the exciting world of fashion to students and community members. The event will be held on Thursday, May 28 in the Quad at the University of Washington from 2-3pm.
Attendees will be provided entertaining instruction on how to select one's attire for various formal occasions. Deonte Randolph of Feed Da Game will be speaking about his experience with Ashoka's Youth Venture, as well as his new clothing line which benefits homeless youth.

A live runway show will follow, featuring pieces from the exquisite collections of Luly Yang Couture. Additional speakers and events may accompany these and will be discussed in further detail in the coming weeks as preparation and planning develops!
During INdependent, the importance of entrepreneurship will also be highlighted. The majority of this information will be passed on to students through various articles and interviews in the event brochure.
In addition, INdependent will serve as a fundraiser for two social entrepreneurship charities: Ashoka's Youth Venture and Resolution Project. Voluntary donations will be collected to benefit the non-profits, in addition to funds raised by seating sales.

New Lightweight Suits that are perfect for the Summer
Summer is just around the corner, and soon you will be heading to work in that heavy suit jacket , hoping not to sweat through it before your big meeting. Or you will be heading to one of your many summer wedding's where you end up dreading having to wear a suit! Rest assured, Evolution of Style is here to help - introducing Joseph Abboud's Featherlight series! Our newest jacket features an unconstructed design , so it removes the heavy lining that can add unwanted weight and warmth to the jacket. It still has all of the amazing craftsmenship as a regular Joseph Abboud suit just with lighter materials.
As a special introductory offer, we are offering these suits for just $325!
I've included a few of the fabrics that I think will look great with this suit but feel free to browse our other 50+ FABRIC CHOICES.
If interested please fill out the Suit Fitting Form below to get started
Or feel free to contact me directly with any questions at
I just wanted to thank Bentley College and more specifically Ashley Perkins for inviting me to be a part of their retail panel discussion for students interested in a career in fashion.
The event was enlightening even to me, as I learned a little fashion fung shui!
I focused my part of the discussion on the realities of the fashion world. In most cases the glamor doesn't come to much later on in your career, in the beginning it is digging through boxes and dodging mice in the office! I also touched on the intricacies of being prepared for an interview as well as provided some advice on being humble about your academic achievements while on the interview. I also answered a few of the questions the students had about where to start in fashion and what are some ways to break into the industry in this tough economy.
A few of the students expressed interest in becoming Evolution of Style interns which is a great news for us as we continue to expand our reach across the country!
Thank you again for including me in your event and I look forward to being part of many more events at Bentley in the future!
Jonathan Mustich - CEO
So EVOLUTION OF STYLE officially has its first 2 interns located at the lovely University of Washington campus!
I want to create a cool name for the interns (ie toms shoes interns are called the vegabonds) and I want you to be a part of it.
The person who comes up with the winning name will get a $50 credit towards anything at evolutionofstyle.com
We look forward to getting your responses, the deadline is Tuesday April 14!! The winner will be announced on Thursday April 16th.
So its a pretty exciting time for me and Evolution of Style. On Friday I met with the career center director at Loyola Marymount University here in Los Angeles. We finalized the plan for the Dress for Success fashion show I am putting on at their career day! It's pretty exciting and really hit home when she handed me the handout!
I just wanted to give a quick congrats to our friends at Bonobos who were written up in the New York Times after a New York Magazine article named them best pair of pants! I personally own 2 pairs and love them as well as get compliments on them every time I wear them. The pair featured in this fan video on facebook is one of the pairs I own. The Brothers Grinn would be a great way to spice up your wardrobe for the spring as well as a great first step in breaking the cycle of wearing jeans! Be sure to use partner code "eos" to get a super sweet discount when checking out!!!
Evolution of Style member William Noel in Essence Magazine
We at Evolution of Style just want to thank William Noel for sporting the sweet Joseph Abboud sportcoat that his style consultant picked out for him earlier this year during his feature in this month's Essence Magazine. Will has been helping the mover's and shaker's in Washington DC keep themselves in shape with his innovative training routines. Obviously he is a great representation of his work as you can see from the picture. Keep it going Will, we know one day the Terps or the Redskins will be calling for your assistance!
Have you ever been heading on a trip to a new city and been left to wonder what to wear? CITY STYLE will help you be confident when visiting a new city that you will be able to get into that cool club because you knew to wear a pair of cool sneakers instead of boring black shoes. It is going to be written by the locals so they can tell you the most up to date trends and even some helpful hints of places to go so you can get the real flavor of a city. For instance when visiting Los Angeles, you should know that the style when going out in Santa Monica is completely different then when going out in Hollywood. Or for instance in Seattle, umbrella's are for tourists, locals have rain coats, since the wind will take your umbrella out and leave you soaked. Not to mention New York City, where the style can change from block to block!
I hope to have this up and running later this month with write-ups from the following cities:
New York
Los Angeles
Santa Monica
Manhattan Beach
Seattle
Miami
Washington DC
Annapolis
Baltimore
San Francisco
Houston
Atlanta
Hoboken
Stockholm, Sweden
London, England
Barcelona, Spain
So earlier this summer I met Nicole in my local coffee shop(Funny how this has a totally different meaning for those of us who have been to Amsterdam) Infuzion here in Santa Monica. We started talking about Evolution of Style and her art talents. Eventually she showed me some of her shoe designs, which I was very impressed with. So I purchased a pair of white Toms (http://www.tomsshoes.com) and gave them to her to do her thing with the only direction to make them about my hometown New York. When she handed me the shoes I was blown away, I mean look at them, I don't even want to wear them!
If you are interested in getting your own pair of custom Tom's by Nicole please email me at so I can set it up.
Thanks again Nicole!

This fall, EOS provided uniforms to a group of youngsters who wanted to put together the best kickball team ever. We had a rough start to the season but we found our stride and ended the season going 4-1 in the last 5 games. With the last game being an exciting end to the season. With one out in the bottom of the 7th (we play 7 innings) and Pete on third. Justin stepped to the plate and came through in the clutch by kicking a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run! We all had a great time playing each week and will miss the weekly Wednesday fun. EOS just wanted to thank Brian (http://rendeznew.com/) for coordinating the team and all of the team members for a great season!

This past Saturday we were fortunate enough to be invited to do a girls night as part of Rebecca's birthday celebration. The "worst" outfit competition was a very tough call, but in the end Rebecca pulled out the win with a very color ensemble. Laura pulled in a close second with a top she pulled out from college and some sweet pants!
After the fashion show we let the girls thumb through some of the new clothes we brought to the party and we were there to help with some suggestions. All of the girls found some new outfits for the night out in Venice which lasted well into the night!
We just wanted to thank Rebecca and company for inviting us to join them last night, we had such a fun time. And thanks for the jello shots!:)

We just want to thank Jim and Kate for involving us in their wedding day in New York City on September 13th. Earlier in the summer we met with Jim to set him up with a new Joseph Abboud suit for the wedding. He liked it so much, Kate's brother and dad also purchased new personalized suits for the wedding. Jim plays guitar in the band the Ruse (http://www.rusemusic.com/news/), which is the official band of Evolution of Style!
Kate and Jim have been with us from the beginning and we were honored to be a part of their wedding day and wanted to thank them. Best of luck in the start of your lives together.
Jonathan and Randall
Kate and Jim outside of Coffee Shop, great cuban sandwich!!
In the middle of Park Ave stopping traffic...or trying to avoid it!!
Hey Evolution of Style followers, it looks like the word is starting to get out there about the company!
We are really excited about this and hope it leads to some bigger things for us, which means more services for you! http://www.azstarnet.com/altds/pastframe/accent/262744
We here at EOS just want to thank Keith Palmer for his promotion of Evolution of Style at the Georgia-Alabama game a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately for Keith and the rest of the Georgia fans participating in the "Black Out" it wasn't enough to help Georgia win. The tide rolled them right out of the building in the first half.
Keith said he had a great time tailgating and we just wanted to thank him for helping us out with some free promoting!
Please continue to send over the pictures of you guys wearing your EOS shirts in completely random locations, we love it!
Last night on Gossip Girl, Jessica Szohr's character Vanessa stylishly donned a top that EOS offers and loves as well. We got this item not too long ago, and we are almost sold out. We only have 1 remaining, so hurry if you want this top fit for the elite.
The top comes from buzz heavy designer Zachary's Smile (http://www.zacharyssmile.com). They offer literally one of a kind pieces, so 2 garments considered to be the same style vary significantly, even from size to size. For this top in particular, the basket-weave shoulders are cut up strips of men's button down shirts, and there is a tie that cinches at the waist. True to the season's theme, it is the essence of "Remake and Remodel." If you are looking for something truly special, ZS is the collection for you!
Aviator Nation (http://www.aviatornation.com) is one of the hottest brands coming out of the LA hotbed of clothing lines. As we move away from the graphic intense tees, a cleaner approach is due. This collection of tees, polos, and hoodies all have that simple aesthetic to create a cool, vintage feel. As creator, Paige McKoskie, is a self-proclaimed vintage store expert, she has perfected the vintage look that translates to today's look. They will be featured on an episode of Entourage this coming season, so keep an eye out for their meteoric rise.
Not only are the clothes cool, the people behind the brand have a mindful eye on the world. They have created an assortment to support the efforts in the fight for Africa. 20% of every piece sold is donated directly to AIDS research in Africa. The tee we offer has on the back view the text:
"5500 Africans die a day of AIDS, a preventable, treatable Disease This is not a cause it is an Emergency. Just two pills a day will bring someone at Deaths door back to full health, Full life. 2 pills a day cost less than a dollar Everyone can help there is no such thing as too little only too late. Together we can embrace this emergency. Together we can be the miracle someone right this second is hoping for."
I would just like to offer EOS a personal testimonial after last weekend's stellar wedding event in Washington State.
As Father of the Groom (and of the Best Man), I have to say that your fabric and style selection for our wedding suits was over the top.
I will admit that this 58 year-old baby boomer had some trepidation about the youthful cut of the suit, but after putting it on, it was obvious that Evolution of Style is NOT just for the young...I felt 20 years younger and completely comfortable in my "new look."
Thank you so much for putting your unique fashion sense front-and-center at my son's wedding...I can't wait for the next EOS style recommendation!
Sincerely,
Bob Crocco
Father of the Groom
Yonkers, NY
This past weekend I had the pleasure of traveling up to San Juan Island just outside of Seattle to attend Bob Crocco and Lauren Tindall's wedding. Earlier this year Bob had asked us at EOS to assist him in selecting the perfect suits for the most important day of his life so far. We of course were honored to do so, and this past weekend was an amazing culmination of our work together. Bob and his groomsmen looked clean and sharp in their custom Joseph Abboud suits and all of them complimented the bridesmaid's perfectly. The bride Lauren, looked simply stunning and had the biggest smile on the entire weekend. The two of them must have been destined to be together because there actually was not a cloud in the sky the entire weekend in Seattle. For those of you who have been there, you know how incredibly rare that is!!
We just wanted to thank you for letting us be a part of your special day and wish you the best in the rest of your lives together!
Special thanks to Susie Hamidi for taking these amazing pictures!
Just wanted to drop you a quick thank you....the jacket that you found for me got me so many compliments when I wore it for conferences yesterday. Thanks for a great find!!!!!
Good afternoon EOS members!!
We just received the pictures from our East meets West party that was held on August 1st.
Of course they came out amazing thanks to the amazing talents of Jaime Windon (http://theblondephotographer.com/)
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to the first of many events!
We would like to announce the introduction of a very exciting womens t-shirt line that we just picked up, Kart!
Kart apparel combines the artistic imagination of children with eco-friendly fashion. The owner, Michael Wahlstrom, picks a school to go to and then provides the elementary school children with art supplies and an idea to design for the shirts.
He then chooses a few designs to go ahead with and create for the season. The children whose designs were chosen then get a % of the every sale that will go into a fund towards their college education!
This is a brand that we at Evolution of Style love to represent and we hope you will love wearing!
East meets West - Evolution of Style Los Angeles opening party
This past Friday we had our Los Angeles opening party where we introduced ourselves to the west coast. It was an immensely successful event in which many of our east coast clients from New York, Miami, and DC, met our clients from the Los Angeles area.
With the help from our participating vendors, Colcci, LA Made, and our sister division Cocoa Couture from Miami, we showed a preview of our Fall 08 and Spring 09 offerings for our clients.
We also unveiled the new look website that night, which everyone was very excited about! Jonathan and Matthew Mustich walked the attendee's through the new features and also assisted in signing new members up.
Meanwhile Randall O'Neal was working hard showing visitors the current clothing selection from Evolution of Style. Even though we weren't planning on it, even managed to make a few sales!
All of the events were captured by the official eos photog, Jaime Windon (http://theblondephotographer.com/), pictures will be coming soon for your viewing pleasure. Ms. Windon is currently enjoying a much needed vacation in Spain. We also want to thank Cameron Zetty (http://www.cameronzetty.com) for providing the lighting for the event which helped immensely in creating the perfect mood for the event!
We hope everyone who attended had a amazing time, and we look forward to seeing you all again at our holiday party on December 12th!
I have to let you both know that I debuted the skirt yesterday - seriously don't think I've ever gotten that many compliments on something that I have worn - it was SICK!
Thanks boys for taking care of a lady!

We are honored to be the first point of U.S. distribution for an amazing designer out of Thailand, Senada Theory!
Having established herself all over Asia, Chanita "Lee" Preechawitayakul felt she was ready to tackle the all important American market. The Senada team felt EOS was a good match to introduce her line because of our presence all over the country. They would not get lost in a sea of designers if placed in a department store, rather EOS could give them the attention they deserve with our exclusive clients.
Taking traditional looks and updating them with an edgy twist, the line is not for the boring. If you are a confident woman that knows what she likes, you will wear Senada Theory well.
