Deveaux | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

Minimalism was the watchword for Deveaux’s fourth collection, from designers Matt Breen, Patrick Doss, and Andrea Tsao.   Deveaux | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31698 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]   Drawing inspiration from the complex yet beautifully simple works by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, the collection played with depth and visibility through the use of color — block intarsias, embroidered eyelets, and trompe l’oeil details. Key materials included supple suedes, various linen and coated blends, as well as knitted chenille. Standout pieces — such as the Oversized A‐Line Coat and Architect Car Coat — truly showcased the attention to detail that is signature to the current offering.

Colors that appeared throughout the collection — blacks, beiges, grays, whites and olives — were tonal, organic, and muted, reflecting the natural world that surrounds the structures of Ando’s creations, as well as the Deveaux world. Loose, fluid, and in some cases, oversized silhouettes drove the direction for the season, with specialty textures and fabric blends adding interest upon a closer look. The fourth NYFW: Men’s presentation invited guests further into the universe of Deveaux. With models moving effortlessly throughout the cavernous space within EN Japanese Brasserie, the high ceilings and dramatic, oversized windows allowed for sumptuous natural light to play on the muted colors and shapes. “It was an incredible experience to study the works of Tadao Ando and to draw parallels between the worlds he has created with those that we are building with Deveaux,” says Andrea Tsao, Head Designer of Deveaux. “Every decision he makes is calculated and meticulous, and we did our best to honor his dedication to artistry with every detail — from the introduction of our women’s collection and our venue choice, to the finishings on every garments.”

Parke & Ronen | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

The Parke & Ronen Spring 2018 collection draws inspiration from the lyrics of John Denver’s song, “Rocky Mountain High,” with an emphasis on the lyrics “serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.” “It’s a nostalgic throwback to times of our youth, when John Denver was ushering in pop-awareness of the Earth and nature … and the unique beauty of Rocky Mountain summers led us to create a collection inspired by the idea of Americana as seen through rose-colored lenses.”   Parke & Ronen | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31644 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]   “During these unsettling times in America, we’re asking what does a modern manifestation of that time look like for 2018 and beyond?” ## Learn More parkeandronen.com NYFW Schedule With love, FWO

Christopher Lowman | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

For Spring/Summer 2018, Christopher Lowman drew inspiration from the modern day college student battling the everyday chain of emotions such as financial instability and mental health issues that lead to the possibility of becoming a college dropout. To create an undeniably upscale effect, the collection incorporated the finest French terry and satin fabrics imported from Australia, as well as delicate Italian imported fabrics. The show was held at the Restaurant at ROSE HILL, located in the 112-year-old landmark HGU New York Hotel in Manhattan. A firm vision made this collection a standout at this NYFW: Men’s.   Christopher Lowman | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31610 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]   This special presentation also featured an exciting collaboration with NEW BALANCE ATHLETICS, luxury shoe brand ANGELA MITCHELL, as well as jewelry brand CURRENCY NY, VIVID EYEWEAR, and contemporary watch maker CITIZEN. On July 15th, 2017, New Balance Athletics will be unveiling its newest collection of athletic footwear, The 574 Sport. ## Learn More christopherlowman.nyc NYFW Schedule With love, FWO

Death to Tennis | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

For Death to Tennis’ S/S 2018 collection, designers William Watson and Vincent Oshin drew inspiration from New York-based artist Keith Mackie’s Mystical Peacock, providing a striking and original collection. Initially hand-drawn on paper then rendered in Photoshop, peacock feathers in various colors were set against a white backdrop. This print was used throughout pieces in the collection, ranging from scarves, jackets, shorts, t-shirts, and trousers. The hair styling was superb, and we especially loved the use of some very well-chosen, intriguing models, who brought out the quirky appeal of this excellent collection.   Death to Tennis | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31557 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]   The designers played on the multitude of “eyes” which were found on the tail-feathers and interpreted by the designers as an abstract reference to modern society’s obsession with vanity, with a nod to the 1950s aesthetic.

DYNE | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

Christopher Bevans, Creative Director and Designer made a collection for the street champion by taking fabric, fit, and function to a completely new level. “It’s really everything about my love of sport, technology and fabrics coming all together in one brand,” says Bevans. “I wanted to make clothes that are functional but still very tailored and stylish — my line is about performance but always with lifestyle in mind.” Rooted in tailoring, DYNE is an evolving brand with a future-focus, anticipating what’s to come in our modern world while pushing the limits of versatility and exceeding the expectations of males on-the-go.   DYNE | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31458 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]   Bevans drew inspiration from the cross-functional aspects of city, downtown active lifestyle and the multi-disciplinary activities of living in a municipality. DYNE is constantly exploring dynamic terrains, from the moment they wake up, the stir of their lives from dealing with the melting pot and over population, to the amount of sensory overload that surrounds their day to day. DYNE’s latest offerings are made up of high-end, smart performance materials with antimicrobial and wicking properties, waterproof fibers, reflectivity, and other body regulating technologies.

The assortment includes a tailored street aesthetic that incorporates the advanced textile technology – communication chips embedded into garments that communicate data to the wearer on everything from fabric specs to playlists. Bevans reconfigured active staples and introduced brighter hues like pops of fuchsia, teal, and chartreuse mixed with neutrals. Flipping perspectives and reversing traditional methods to push the realms of possibility in activewear, he used an inverted zipper on a hooded anorak, added sheer quilting details on a polka dot bomber and added subtle motocross seaming on a pair of joggers. Offering up an assortment of updated classics that he says “feels more athletic in a very tailored aesthetic,” the collection includes a jumpsuit that is reminiscent of a mechanics’ suit, pullovers in stretch performance woven that zips from the bottom up, packable jacket, and pisano tech pant. For Spring/Summer 2018 DYNE teamed up with GREATS, a Brooklyn-born footwear brand offering tastefully designed sneakers. “The GREATS collaboration happened organically. Ryan and I have been partnering on other brand projects in the past. I am fan because GREATS provides quality comfort trainers made in Italy for a really good price. DYNE stands for quality and so does GREATS so it just made sense,” Bevans said.

The designers revealed the ‘Pronto’ style in multiple colors. Made in Civitanova, Italy – known as “shoe valley” – where each shoe is built to the utmost standards. It easily laps the competition with a luxurious full-leather lining, a hand cut leather stabilizer on the heel, 3M accents on the toe, and hits of top-notch leather and suede on the upper, with just enough mesh for breathability. With the support of Cadillac and the CFDA, DYNE was chosen to be a part of the Cadillac’s fifth season as a sponsor of New York Fashion Week: Men’s continuing its partnership with the CFDA. DYNE, from Greek, δύναμις, dynamis, meaning power, force. ## Learn More dyne.life greats.com NYFW Schedule With love, FWO

Private Policy | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

We live in an interesting time, when different groups of people can profess to love “America and all it stands for,” while holding extremely divergent ideas about what that means. Some of these divisions can be answered (I think), in a more pat manner. For example, it’s clear that some people feel the “American dream” is about plurality and heterogeneity, while others feel it only applies to a certain ethnic group. Other questions are thornier. If you want to ruin a Thanksgiving Day meal, for example, you might bring up the idea of flag burning. (Something I narrowly avoided last November.) It’s easy to see both sides. On the one, you might have someone who knows of a person who gave their life defending that flag. Who, in essence, gave their life for all of us. So the question boils down to what you think that person sacrificed for: the flag itself, or the right to live in a country where dissent is allowed. Fashion serves several purposes. Two of its most rewarding are as an outlet for fantasy, and as a reflection of what society is going through. For a little of the latter, look no further than Private Policy’s excellent SS18 NYFW: Men’s collection, beautifully captured in photos by Shxpir Huang, with styling by Mel Renee.   Private Policy | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31367 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false] (Photos: Shxpir Huang; Styling: Mel Renee) According to the designers: “Under the turbulence of the political climate, many Americans feel that their country is spinning out of control, and the definition of the American Dream seems to be lost. For spring/summer 2018, PRIVATE POLICY intends to be a gatherer; collecting bits and pieces of ordinary American life, in comparison to the impression imposed by politics and media. The designers named the collection Trinkets, because the small things can indeed reflect the big picture.

the definition of the American Dream seems to be lost

“Hints of Native American elements are seen in vests and jackets, as the designers expand upon their use of prints and patterns; western influences modeled in their signature silk wool fabrication are seen in reinvented ‘denim’ jackets and ‘denim’ pants, which are finished with touches of rhinestones to represent Hollywood glam; and Private Policy’s abstract touch finishes the collection with pieces made to resemble ‘Thank You, Thank You, Thank You’ plastic bags found in convenience stores across America. “To pull the collections inspiration together, a capsule collection of wallet chains and hangtags, another signature piece from collections past, is incorporated into the collection and designed in collaboration with 11 NYC creatives. The hangtags which display phrases of whimsy, politicalism, pride and fun are meant to express the collaborators vision of America and/or their everyday life. Each chain was then customized with “trinket” charms, a way of linking together the collaborators vision and giving them a medium to express their views and wants for America. ” ## Learn More NYFW Schedule With love, FWO

WOOD HOUSE | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

Here are some images from WOOD HOUSE’s latest collection as shown as New York Fashion Week Men’s. From the designer: “The socioeconomic and political fallout following this year’s election is rare but certainly not unprecedented. Julian Woodhouse spent enough time reflecting where we are as a collective. Although choosing to define our society has become a polarizing crisis in recent times, he concluded, nothing we see is new; it has happened to preceding generations and it is likely to happen again. Simultaneous occurrences of both civil and global tensions make the perfect environment for growth. As we grow, rifles fire, bombs are dropped, and lives are lost. During these crucibles, the public’s outcry demands a revolution — a counter culture. “This collection was stitched with the hopes of a brighter future, and for us represents the new revolutionary and our counter culture. We are a politically and socioeconomically engaged society. Not caring is not an option, but from time to time we can take a break and enjoy life. So let’s have a field day!”

This collection was stitched with the hopes of a brighter future

Daniel Hechter | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

Here are some images from Daniel Hechter’s latest collection as shown as New York Fashion Week Men’s. According to designer Christophe Blondin Pechabrier: “For Spring 2018 we break the rules, mixing pique with nylon and stretch poplin for a fresh take on a springtime classic. With this new collection, Daniel Hechter Paris welcomes the millennial generation and brings the traditional Hechter man into the fold.”   Daniel Hechter | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31272 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]   Daniel Hechter Paris introduces a vibrant spring 2018 collection offering ready-to-wear options designed for the American man with a European sensibility. The spring 2018 collection pushes the boundaries of contemporary menswear, playing on different fabrications, textures, and color combinations to offer a fresh take on classics. With this new collection, Daniel Hechter Paris welcomes the millennial generation and brings the traditional Hechter man into the fold. The brand is no stranger to using bold color and patterns in their offerings. This season, inspired by pattern designer Camilla Frances, a computerized floral design spices up jacket linings, shirts, and outerwear. A ‘motherboard’ print, inspired by the hardware computer’s of the 90s used, is superimposed on t-shirts and adds subtle detail to the backs of collars. Their classic silhouettes, previously offered in more demure neutrals, will be done this season in brighter fashion colors. Cherry reds and hunter greens provide a sharp, eye catching appeal among navy, white, and beige. While new colors and prints provide an aesthetic allure, unique and inventive fabric combinations and details elevate the collection further. Pops of seersucker on a blazer, perforated suede details, and paper touch jackets are all new, exciting material additions to the line. A lambskin classic leather jacket with zipper details and outerwear with removable linings provide smart and savvy options for layering in spring weather. Simple, lightweight knit sweaters with an ultra-soft feel and hoodies with herringbone details alongside the zipper exemplify the unique attention to detail the Daniel Hechter Paris brand puts into every piece in its collection. This line also offers the wearer a variety of different, unexpected outfit combinations. Windbreakers and bombers are reversible to provide the wearer with two looks in one garment and blazers are paired refreshingly with shorts or drawstring joggers for a relaxed look that is still polished. In keeping with the brand’s ethos, the price points continue to be competitive without sacrificing the high quality that customers have come to expect from Daniel Hechter Paris. Shorts start at $75, wovens and knits range from $80 to $95, and jackets and outerwear are offered at $195 to $578. As the Daniel Hechter Paris empire continues to expand into the US market, the spring 2018 collection is a fine representation of the brand’s dedication to providing beautiful, accessible menswear to all. ## Learn More daniel-hechter.de NYFW Schedule With love, FWO

David Hart | New York Fashion Week: Men’s

Here are some images from David Hart’s latest collection as shown as New York Fashion Week Men’s. According to David Hart: “The Spring ’18 collection is inspired by tourism to Cuba. Unfortunately, since I started development, recent events in the USA have started a roll back on restrictions on easy travel there. “This collection is a celebration of the world’s view of Cuba and not a literal one. I personally have never been to Cuba, so this collection is based on an idea of Cuba I’ve been exposed to through books, media, and cinema as an American.”   David Hart | NYFW: Men’s [portfolio_slideshow id=31245 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]   This season David Hart featured three styles of TOMS shoes. The men were wearing the Deconstructed Alpargatas, a new take on the iconic TOMS style, and the Huarache slip on, a loafer style with a breezy construction and a classic jute-wrapped sole. The women were wearing the Stella Wedge, an effortlessly stylish peep toe wedge with a cork heel. ## Learn More davidhartnyc.com NYFW Schedule With love, FWO
