The third line was Engineered by Remy, by Remy Hou. This also is a men’s and women’s line but with more structure. The line consisted of collared shirtings and fitted blouses with suspenders and sleek slacks. The models walked a bit more methodically and serious.

The fourth line was Philthy Ragz, designed by Jaynelle. This line is also in store in L.A. carrying women’s easy but sophisticated pieces. They had modal jumpers, leopard printed jersey dresses and a striking royal blue number with a very deep v neckline. Simply hot!
