NYMD- SS 16'

This week we saw the inaugural launch of New York Fashion Week: Men's!! It's an extremely exciting time for menswear and a great opportunity for smaller labels to gain the exposure they deserve. The decision to create a Men's Week came from the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America), and we are all extremely grateful. 

To kick off my recaps of the week, we're looking only at Day 1 and NYMD. New York Men's Day was established a few years ago by Agentry PR as a platform for their brands to show their collections in one single event. It has since grown and folded neatly into NYFW:M. 

Below are the designs I loved and the clothes I need! I'll keep it brief and let the clothes do the talking! Let me know what you think in the comment section below!!

CADET- "The Filthy 13"

A WWII inspired collection that has my name written all over it. I loved the urban warrior feel in the detailing. Yet it's precise and clean. I need it all!

Obsessed with the fabrics in this collection. Rumpled cottons and linens. The head-to-toe neutrals that have such depth. Definitely some great cues on how to layer in the Spring.

HVRMINN & Co 

It's like walking into a modern day mob flick. Great use of proportion. Slim, short trousers with oversized jackets. The camo look with the Panama hat is killer. Right?!

David Hart-

A man not afraid of color!! So much of the week was neutral or head-to-toe bright color. It was refreshing to see unique color combinations in a single look. His collection was inspired by Bauhaus, the arts and crafts school in the 20's. Its clear in his color choices and prints. And those two tone sunglasses!
