Royalty June 2013 Collection Delivery 1

Local brand, Royalty, definitely made a lot of noise with their first release, as they exploded into the scene earlier this year. The brand follows simple fundamentals and maintains simplicity within their pieces. The collection is comprised of ready-to-wear over the weekend; ranging from basic tees to simple pattern button-downs. This collection just follows up from their previous collection, but toning it down a bit and while keeping it interesting enough. The brand continues to present itself with their pieces, showing what kind of style and aesthetic they tend to lean on - and it's pretty clear that the market is slowly warming up to it. This collection debuted in the Clavel Fair last June 30, so this collection is bound to be up on sale online sooner rather than later.
