SEATTLE, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Martin + Osa is proud to announce
the opening of its store at Bellevue Square, Bellevue, Washington.
Martin + Osa is a newly launched retail apparel brand for women and
men, ages 25-40 that fuses classic, sport + denim to create modern
clothes through a mix of sport + luxury, comfort + fashion,
sophistication + active. This season, sport-inspired pieces include
a cashmere racer-back tank, chino tennis shorts, and Italian nylon
military anorak. By pairing these items with classic wardrobe
staples such as a long cashmere cardigan and wovens in traditional
haberdashery checks and stripes, the look is distinctly Martin +
Osa. Martin + Osa also offers a selective collection of accessories
including espadrilles by Castner, Sue London ballet flats, Havianas
flip-flops, Converse and Adidas sneakers, Ray Ban and Blinde
sunglasses and Suunto watches. The store also carries Filson bags
distressed exclusively for Martin + Osa. The communal table,
located at the center of the store, encourages customers to explore
numerous books and travel must-haves such as Lomography cameras and
Propeline skin care products. The brand is inspired by the mettle
of Martin and Osa Johnson, who defied convention by leaving their
home in Kansas to explore Africa and the South Pacific in the
1920s. This stylish couple documented their journeys via lecture,
photography, films and books. Martin + Osa caters to those who
possess a similar adventurous spirit. While Martin + Osa's clothes
are the undoubted heroes of this brand, the unconventional store
d�cor invites customers in and encourages them to explore. The
store, designed by Michael Neumann Architects, features a
windowless American Cypress fa�ade with an artisinal blue glass
sign. Customers enter through a spacious portal, which opens up to
a warm space constructed with oxidized steel, rose quartz, and a
sadler tile. Martin + Osa extends the boutique experience to music.
Every season, Martin + Osa works with music industry insiders to
curate the M+O GoodMusic(TM) list, an eclectic mix of new music and
classics. The GoodMusic(TM) list is featured on its website
(martinandosa.com/goodmusic), and is now available for download on
iTunes. Martin + Osa has stores in Tysons Corner (McLean, VA),
NorthPark Center (Dallas, TX), Fashion Island (Newport Beach, CA),
San Francisco Westfield Centre (San Francisco, CA), Mall of America
(Minneapolis, MN), Westfield Center (Chicago, IL), and the Domain
(Austin, TX). An additional 12 stores are planned for 2007 in areas
including White Plains (NY), Novi (MI) and Danbury (CT). Martin +
Osa is a division of American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEOS).
