Spring 2013

SHAPESHIFTER
While clean lines and crisp perspective will always inspire us, the strong architectural influence of Spring 12 and our exploration of paradox in Fall 12 naturally motivated us to explore the creative space in between. Precise structure and contradiction evolve to be softer, a little blurred around the edges, more relaxed and accommodating. Only half tongue-in-cheek, weve named our inspiration for Spring 13 Shapeshifter. In the most literal sense, shifting shapes include rounded, sometimes dropped or scalloped hemlines, dropped shoulders, longer, more fluid lengths, easy volume, curved seams, rounded pockets and less sharp V-necks. Water, the ultimate shapeshifter, provided inspiration for our print and pattern design. Water takes many forms, and its adaptability and fluidity provide a wonderful metaphor for a full life, well lived. But only one aspect of Shapeshifter refers to form. Its more important quality implies versatility and the ability to move effortlessly through different environments. Weve created styles that morph to suit a life lived both outdoors and in, that work and play, that handle the city with confidence but love the beach, the mountains and most of all, to travel. I admit to being profoundly under the influence of an Italian vacation when we embarked on designing this season. I loved being surrounded by magnificent and simple beauty at every turn and the pleasure of imprecision the easy rhythm of unstructured days and an itinerary that meandered between specific points. Meals were discovered, not scheduled, and a memorable rustic tart at lunch was as exquisite and imperfect as the hand-drawn map from the hotel owner. When your clothes fit into a single bag and favor function and an imperfect, comfortable beauty, they complete the experience. There is no resistance to this pure and simple pleasure. Bravissima.

dOBBy CHAmBRAy 100% COTTON Chambray has our hearts because of its hard-working, blue-collar roots, but its appeal is in its pure ease and honest style.

FlExCEl lIGHT 56% TENCEl / 23% COTTON / 18% POlyESTER / 3% SPANdEx This ideal year-round knit is a blend of Tencel (a silky, eco-friendly cellulosic fiber that is resilient and absorbent), cotton, quick-dry polyester and dynamic spandex.

David Duron
David loves tank tops, hanging out with his family and talking to his awesome dealers. He doesnt love red bell peppers and chocolate. He travels a lot, but when hes home in Santa Barbara he spends his time surfing and cooking and working around the house. This year he grew an accidental garden made entirely of volunteer tomatoes and potatoes. Hes been with the Toad Family of Brands for more than three years and says he will stay forever unless he lands a gig as an international tank top model or rock star.

Kimberly Burnell
Kimberly loves to run and run and run, especially with good friends. Among her other favorites: bananas with peanut butter, cats, backseat driving and talking to Toad dealers. The eldest of three girls, she was born and raised in Colorado, spent time on the East Coast, and then discovered magical Santa Barbara. She never wants to leave. In her former life, she was a newspaper editor, and she channels those journalism skills when writing Toad HQ update e-mails to dealers. Shes been a Toad for four years, but dont ask her to pick a favorite style because she loves and wears everything. Her cat, Charlie, however, only naps on Cashmoore.

Steve Harding and Bob the Dog


Part dog, part amazing, Bob is also well known for his participation in the annual Santa Barbara doggie mile race. Steve, on the other hand, is notorious for pedaling around town on his beach cruiser wearing a Green Bay Packers football helmet. Bob is lobbying hard to have pet bunnies and chickens around the office, and Steves career aspirations are to finally beat David Duron in one single stinking game of ping-pong.
