President and Creative Director of von Leuchtenberg, high end outerwear fashion lineIn 1905 Bavaria gave the world the ultimate statement of quality in luxury winter-wear. From the shadows of the Alps, “von Leuchtenberg” was born. Until its demise in the 1930’s, von Leuchtenberg remained the standard by which all winter-wear was measured. It took the beauty of the Alps to inspire von Leuchtenberg to create a line of clothing that captures the most cherished traditions of Bavaria, but it took the imagination and artistry of designer, Jeff Hamilton, to reintroduce the wonders of von Leuchtenberg with a style that will endure well into the future. Jeff Hamilton began his career as a fashion designer in Paris France. Upon his arrival in the US, he forced his way into the top fashion circles making a name for himself as the creative genius behind “Guess ? for Men”. After leaving “Guess ? for Men” Jeff focused his attention on leather jackets. His designs were much more than mere articles of clothing: they were works of art. In no time at all, Jeff had athletes, entertainers and world leaders beating a path to his door for the pleasure of being draped in one of his remarkable creations. Jeff has now applied his wondrous creativity to the revival of von Leuchtenberg with an attention to detail that eclipses all others. Using the finest leathers and nylons, accented with an impressive adornment of branded zippers, buttons and other accessories, the new von Leuchtenberg line promises to deliver the comfort for which it is known with a style and flair that will make you long for winter the whole year round. The “new” von Leuchtenberg line combines elite standards in style and comfort with a modern flair that compliments the history and traditions of this century-old brand.www.vonleuchtenberg.com
