    At New York Fashion Week, Next Gen Menswear Takes Center Stage at New York Men’s Day

    Before the collections kick-off in the afternoon of the first Friday after Labor Day— New York Fashion Week—there’s New York Men’s Day offering a no fuss start to a week packed with, well, a lot of muss. 

    This time the seasonal menswear showcase, which is put together by Agentry PR, was once again hosted across two floors—that otherwise serve as separate photographic studios—of an industrial building in Hudson Yards. There were ten designers in the lineup, covering menswear, genderless, and a touch of womenswear. These brands were all relatively indie, with a distinct take on what constitutes “menswear,” and ranged from new (as in launched last year) to established (operating for nearly a decade). 

    The last couple of years have seen menswear evolve away from collections designed as companions to women’s lineups into a highly directional category. There’s the genderlessness of it all, which continues to evolve as our

    I Put Men’s Ballet Flats to the Test During Fashion Week

    You can almost always hear me coming from just about any direction—mostly because I’m clomping my way through life in extra-chunky shoes. There’s something about a sturdy shoe that instantly grounds a look, and makes every and any proportion feel right. I wear my lug sole Gucci loafers, which weigh a ton, more than my sneakers—because they simply always complete my outfit. That being said, it’s currently New York Fashion Week, and what better time than now to experiment with style and try out new things? (Vogue’s street style gallery has plenty of outfit ideas.)

    Feeling inspired by the idea of a wardrobe renewal, I tasked myself with venturing outside of my own signature shoes. What if I tried a more streamlined footwear style instead? I also began to notice a shoe taking over the menswear scene this season: Gents are now rocking ballet flats. Yes,

    Five Menswear Insiders on Fashion Week ’Fits and “Street Style Dressing”

    How do you generally approach putting together an outfit, and does that change at all during fashion week?

    For me it’s important to be as authentic as possible, which is why my style, whilst constantly evolving, has fundamentally remained unchanged for the best part of a decade. The foundations of my own personal style lay within three distinct groups: cut, color, and texture. I gravitate towards one core color, or tonal variants thereof, whilst simultaneously mixing in subtle textural elements to add richness and depth.

    The cut should first and foremost be complementary to my body shape, and secondly it should be dynamic in design terms. I tend to lean toward either sharp structured garments or louche voluminous ones. At times I interchange the two to play with proportion.

    Would you say your style during fashion week is reflective of your everyday style, or do you tend to experiment more

    NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — What we know and love as “Fashion Week” now actually lasts a full month, because four cities host a series of exclusive events between January and February.
