EFM Engineered For Motion – From Bike to Boardroom

When the holidays hit us each year, we’re on the go from, planes, trains and automobiles. But what about bikes, skateboards, or snowboards? EFM Engineered For Motion, a radically engineered new menswear brand, understands the way we live.

EFM’s designer, Donrad Duncan, is the former principal designer and concept creator of Victorinox/Swiss Army Apparel. With Duncan’s point of view of dressing the urban nomad, his first collection for fall 2014, brings together the items everyman needs. Such as:

  • A classic blue blazer that can fit in the smallest of pocket of your carry-on
  • Chinos that stretch, but still look like selvedge
  • Outerwear with magnetic closures and reflective tape

Donrad understands the engineering and fabrics to make a man’s life better. This combination of how new tech fabrics move, what they weigh, and his tech/tailored vision works well with our busy schedules.

Inspired by the Italian sportswear industry of the 1980’s, and their purist approach in menswear, Donrad collaborates with Trinovation Lab in China, dedicated to the continuous research, experimentation and application of a new generation of manufacturing techniques.

Some of the outerwear pieces from Ducan’s premiere collection, use a lofty wool/nylon that has a comfortable stretch with the feel of cashmere. These are paired with other styles that are constructed of extremely lightweight translucent nylon, which is ideal for packing in luggage or a messenger bag. You’re welcome.

It’s the summer, and with that comes a flurry of must-haves and new fashion trends to enjoy. However, one of the few constants in the endless cycle of micro trends is the sandal. Men’s sandals have often been relegated to two categories: open-toed and closed-toed. While this is technically true and one way to categorize them, it’s not the only factor to consider when you look at all the sandal options available. Considered one of the oldest forms of footwear, according to Alberto Torresi, the sandal has evolved into multiple iterations that fulfill different functions. Although some sandals are best fit for heading to the beach, others are more ideal for summer events with a more sophisticated dress code.
