Por Homme – Men's Lifestyle, Fashion, Footwear and Culture Magazine

With the holidays now behind us, I know everyone’s looking forward to the hot summer days. Oh, what’s that, it was in the 80′s this weekend in Miami? Well, then it’s good Onia’s dropped their Resort 2013 collection. With inspiration coming from a recent trip to the Maldives, Onia’s latest offerings feature a rich blend of colors taken in from the Maldives’ azure seas, white beaches, multi-hued coral, swaying coconut palms and much more. The new finishes come in classic Onia fits such as the Charles 7″ classic trunks and Calder 10″ long shorts.

Shop the goods now through Onia and other fine stockists.

Here, we have looks at Onia’s Summer ’12 lookbook. The imagery showcases the brand’s men’s and boy’s lines side by side as a father and son duo hit the water for some fun in the sun. Onia trunks come in a few different styles — Calder 7.5″, Calder 10″, the classic Charles, and the Amaury board short. Each one fits to its own mold and really drives the quality and detailing of each short home. More looks from the Summer 2012 lookbook below with the collection available now through Onia.

Well, looks like we’re about to have a few days of summer here in the Northeast, whereas a lot of other areas in the states have already gotten a taste of warmth. It’s the perfect time to go invest in some solid swimwear and we’d look no further than Onia. The New York based brand has been steadily expanding their offerings and have delivered all the goods you’ll need to toss into your beach bag, including the bag itself.

A few more looks below though click on over to Onia to get right down to business. We suggest the label’s classic Calder fit. They can also be found in select Bloomingdales, Barney’s and Ritz Carlton locations.

Here, we have shots from New York-based swimwear label Onia’s Resort 2011 lookbook. The collection features four styles in a range of colors and exclusive Liberty of London prints. Some pieces are more subtle than others but the pieces are made with such great attention to detail that they’re really hard to ignore. There aren’t enough swimwear brands on the market that are able to consistently deliver wearable pieces but Carl Cunow and company have somehow managed to do just that. Beyond the great product, Onia is offering up great customer service to boot. Point in case, if you happen to be in Manhattan, opt for same-day delivery to get the goods in as little as an hour. Shop the goods at Onia.com.

Our friends over at Gear Patrol have teamed up with swimwear label Onia for this limited-edition colorway of their Amaury board short. You may recall our recent interview with Carl of Onia as he discussed why he chose to enter the swimwear market highlighting a major gap in finding a well-fitting pair of shorts that’s not overdone with pockets and designs. Onia’s designs are more timeless with a more tailored fit, an 8″ inseam and curved waistband and are technically sound with their paneled cotton nylon construction.

They’re made in the USA and this special collaboration in ocean blue are limited to 99 pieces. These feature khaki detailing on the drawstring, zipper linings and a coin pocket.

Road to (capsule) is a Por Homme exclusive, made possible by the good folks behind the (capsule) tradeshow, and of course, the person(s) being interviewed. We ask each designer a few questions that help to give us — as fans, readers, observers, whatever — a better understanding of what makes these gifted individuals tick. The questions are fairly uniform, but as you’ll see, the answers are far from that. The (capsule) show invades New York July 18th and 19th, giving viewers first looks at Spring/Summer 2012 collections from the industry’s most reputable men’s labels.

We’re just days away from (capsule) New York and we were fortunate enough to sit down with Onia‘s Carl Cunow. The man’s an experienced vet of the menswear industry (more on that below) and with the help of his small team, he’s been able to really offer a swimwear brand that’s a cut above the rest. I personally stopped by their showroom not too long ago and I was really able to see why Onia is growing at an unstoppable pace. Carl’s a gifted talent and he’s shown that his brand is here to stay. Check out what he had to say as he and his team get ready for (capsule) New York.
