A&V DESIGNERS | http://www.facebook.com/aandvofficial
A&V is a contemporary brand representing intellectual fashion that attracts customers who value unique clothes and accessories. A&V fashions conistently pique the interests of international fashion media and niche market buyers and agents.

The authentic signature style of A&V is the combination of Lithuanian heritage and global trends, meticulous design, professionalism and snappy criticism of modern values, finesse and reserved boldness. These designers believe that long-lasting values and the modern form of their presentation is the road to the future of contemporary fashion.

The aesthetics of A&V work does not submit to the presumptuousness of short-term trends, but is consistently developed following clear values and goals. When creating their collections, designers primarily focus on functionality, quality, aesthetics and comfort and the additional semantic meanings that are the favoured object of discussions of fashion reviewers and journalists.

Intellectual irony and playfulness poke fun at modern stereotypes prompting unique discussions and nostalgic cravings for true values of days gone by.

“Our Yoga Mat sandal is one of the most innovative products! The comfort it provides cannot be found anywhere else. Yours to discover! With over a million units sold worldwide, it is our best seller thus far, and I am certain that this spring and summer many Quebecers will be Yoga Mat and Beer Cozy junkies”, asserts JS Weir, National Sales Manager, Sanük Canada.

In addition to its insole made from genuine yoga mats, the Yoga Mat is distinguished by its flexible strap and its design; made from high quality synthetic leather. Its outsole, made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), is lightweight and is wondrous in terms of support and durability. Equally well equipped in terms of its sole, the Beer Cozy is offered, depending on the model, with a synthetic or textile strap and a toe anchor designed for optimal foot comfort. The designs are 100% vegan. It should be no wonder the Yoga Mat won the 2011 SIMA (Surf Industry Manufacturer Association), Women’s Footwear Product of the Year!

Comfort. Outdoors. Surf.

Sanük, meaning pleasure and happiness in Thai, was founded in California some 15 years ago by Jeff Kelley, a surfer. His priority? To provide good quality products, unparalleled comfort, and excellent value per price-point for surfers, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and all those who simply want to please their feet. As an industry leader in terms of innovation, Sanük is known for their creative use of unusual materials; such as their first sandal designed from camping mats.

A wide range of sandals and Sidewalk Surfers

In addition to its yoga mat sandals – a unique product, Sanük sells more than 180 types of footwear, including many Sidewalk Surfers; a type of shoe that retains the attributes of a sandal. Thanks to this patented concept, they combine great flexibility with a strong ability to embrace natural movements, thus marrying the style and protection of the shoe to the comfort and freedom of a sandal. Notable models are the popular women’s June Bug and Shorty, as well as the men’s best-sellers the Scurvy and the Standard. Some Sanük models are also available in leather, and many designs are equipped with extra-soft, bouncy, and antimicrobial EVA soles.

June Bug and Shorty (women’s Sidewalk Surfers)

Classic, cute, and comfortable, the women’s June Bug Sidewalk Surfer is an expression of the Sanük spirit. Light, vulcanized, and styled, it slips on with ease. Incorporating an antimicrobial additive and offering astonishing flexibility by way of its elastic sides and hand-made canvas top, it grips the foot securely while optimizing natural movements. As for the Shorty, it is equipped with an EVA sole and a detailed canvas top, integrating subtle coloured particles. Feminine, comfortable, and easy to put on, it is entirely made from vegan materials.

Scurvy and Standard (men’s Sidewalk Surfers)

Styled, functional, and innovative, the men’s Scurvy Sidewalk Surfer is one of Sanük’s biggest hits. Thanks to its lightweight design, optional laces, high-performance outsole, and 360 ° antimicrobial protection, it is as perfect for marine adventures as it is for everyday life. The Standard, also a popular model, slips on with ease while possessing several advantages of the Scurvy. However, it is different in that it possesses a unique design that is 100% vegan and vegetarian.

About Sanük

Founded in 1997 in California by surfer Jeff Kelley, Sanük designs and sells creative and inspired sandals bearing one of the most distinctive designs. Functional, efficient, and stylish, their products are designed for children and adults alike, and have won several prestigious awards such as being named Footwear Product of the Year twice by the SIMA Image Awards, in 2008 (Sidewalk Surfer) and again in 2010 (Yoga Mat). Highly innovative, Sanük is known for both its use of unusual materials and its Sidewalk Surfers – what they refer to as “Not-A-Shoe”, a patented design that offers feet organic comfort and natural flexibility.

Sanük products are sold in over 50 countries worldwide. The company also sponsors surf and freeclimbing teams that include world-renown elite athletes such as Daniel Woods and Chris Sharma, one of the most respected rock-climbers, as well as surfers Donavon Frankenreiter and Dave Rastovich.

2012 is a year steeped with political rhetoric. Politicians are claiming this, declaring that, blaming each other while requesting more from us. Yet underneath all the fuss is just us. Your every day Americans… who are waiting on a political promise of more jobs that are made in America. Well, one soft-spoken American expressed without words, a vision to do something about it! Designer Douglas Says presented his Fall 2012 fashions with his opening theme displaying patriotic fashions. In the spirit of Old Glory, Fashion Designer Douglas Says… FASHIONS MADE IN AMERICA!

“America was built on what America has built. So, I think it’s really sad that our manufacturing resources in New York’s garment district are no longer of convenience. Everything is practically invisible now. They’ve forced everybody out! If Americans start supporting more US made products it would bring back jobs and put a lot of food on a lot of American people’s tables. Ya know, I’m really not very political, though I do make sure I go out to vote. And I do believe in President Obama’s efforts”

Mr. Says literally has a patriotic frame of mind, as displayed by the leggy models that cascade onto the runway. Each model steps through a ten foot silver frame before presenting garments that reflect old glory. A small collection of red, white and blue dresses complete with stars and strips open the Douglas Says presentation. “I’m patriotic about my country and I was inspired by President Barack Obama’s comments during his State of the Union Address. Obama said, “We need to out innovate, out educate and out build the rest of the world”. Our President is demanding a tall order from us all. So I’ve adopted the “Made In America” mission as my mission. My humble beginnings started in the African-American community where fashion and accessories have always been iconic products. So, what is a better opportunity for fashion enthusiast to express American patriotism than to wear our colors with fashions made in America?

Initially, this was fabric that literally sat in the fabric store window for years. I purchased it for another purpose, to use as a muslin. Then I had the idea of creating a couple of junior pieces with it and call it “The Presidents Wife” to use in a pictorial photo series. I traditionally create with jersey knit, not cotton. I use jersey knits to create stylish fashions for the everyday woman. Jersey knits are luxurious as it barely grazes your curves. One secret I’ll offer about jersey knit garments is that it works fabulous as a travel collection because it’s practically wrinkle free. Douglas SaysIt’s an American made fabric that is known for it’s comfort and fit. Most Designers find it difficult to work with, but I’m right at home with jersey knit fabric. I also design for full-figured women and I’ve titled that collection “Plus-U”. One of my goals is to try to remove old taboos about stretch fabrics like jersey knits. There is a notion that knits are unkind to full-figured body types. Like everything else, the fabric just has to be custom cut with your body in mind! I’m totally aware that real women have curves. We Designers need to accept that fact and lend a helping hand in complimenting those curves. It’s unnecessary to hide, deny or flat out ignore your figure! So I’m finally able to answer those calls… which have become full shout-outs! As a Designer I can’t pretend not to hear or see customer’s request for stylish plus size fashions. I’m always educating myself about my customer’s need, as well as learning what possible innovations I can apply using US made fabrics to meet these needs. These women can enjoy quality and style that’s American made”! Explains Says. Fashion designer Douglas Says is presenting women with two gifts; his patriotic flair, and his signature style… without compromising comfort. All found in a product-line that’s made in American.
