In this video clip, Philip Nyren, owner of Philip Nyren Menswear & Womenswear Ltd. (in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada), interviews designer Bill Lavin at the MRket Show in New York. Bill Lavin designs and produces Leather Island Belts. His belts focus heavily on originality, as the artwork and aging on is never the same. Leather Island Belts are vintage-looking designs, created out of new materials, utilizing intensely complicated and time-consuming emulsion screening and aging processes. Bills designs run the gamut from weathered solids, houndstooth and checked prints to symbols that embody Americas heritage & Music Icons. Each design has a story, an element of surprise, and a distinctive look.
