# Laser-Cut Clothing The Above AW10 Collection is Simply Timeless By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/above-aw10 References: [stylebubble](http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2010/05/above-and-below.html) & [abovelabel](http://www.abovelabel.com/) What I like about the Above AW10 collection is the fact that their designers have focused on bringing [classic pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025) to the forefront. By concentrating on [easy pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaron-levine), they have created a line that is timeless. Yet they have not neglected the details that set them apart from chain retail stores. Headed by designers Nyssa Marrow and Kerry Findlow, the Above AW10 collection seem to embrace both a Western simplicity and an Eastern edge.
