In The Showroom: Operations Spring 09

We will be honest and say that out of all the brands at the Denise Williamson showroom, Operations was not the brand we were expecting would be one of our favorites.

We will be honest and say that out of all the brands at the Denise Williamson showroom, Operations was not the brand we were expecting would be one of our favorites. Second only to Catherine Holstein in our affections in fact. As much as their formula hasn't changed, and as much as we respect them for collaborating with Levi's, the range just felt more polished and trend-cognizant then ever before. The neon piping in each garment, the thin light denim pieces, and the trench coats with contrast collars, were right on the money--even if you couldn't say these were out-there trends to reference. Operations, which takes inspiration from American uniform, is shaping up to be a clever little jackets-and-shirts kind of line and we're happy to see it happen.

On Our Radar: Levi Strauss Offering a Fuller Collection For Fall

Last year's Levi Strauss and Operations collaboration was so successful, the two brands have partnered up again to create a fuller Fall line.

Last year's Levi Strauss and Operations collaboration was so successful, the two brands have partnered up again to create a fuller Fall line. More specifically, the Operations for Levi Strauss & Co. collection consists of 14 pieces including a watchmaker vest, a Scottish cavalry blazer, GI driver's jacket, and Scottish military blazer. Retail value ranges from $125 to $300.

In addition, two special pieces — a trench coat and a belted short trench — will be available only in the New York and San Francisco stores. It's important to note that this is the first time Levi Strauss has shared its brand name with another label. Locate a store near you and reap this partnership's benefits.

Operations Clothing

Remember when Christina Applegate reinvents all of those boring uniforms in Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead?
Remember when Christina Applegate reinvents all of those boring uniforms in Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead? Yeah, that actually happens. The gentlemen behind the label Operations made that dream-sequence a reality, using utility-based garments as inspiration for their ready to wear line. American's are not known for their taste, nor their penchant for dress-up, so it's no wonder why Operations is thriving as a line who makes our fashion personality look good (yes, it's possible). Even Levi's, the purveyor of all things American, has teamed up with Operations for a Limited Edition collection. Hell, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em (in the end, even Kenny did).
