As Katya Leonovich’s menswear line reaches it’s (not so) terrible twos for its second season collection, it’s clear she is hitting her stride. She is no stranger to the runway, having shown womenswear collections in Paris, and won Designer of the Year in Russia, and her launch into menswear last season leaped off the starting blocks. With this second season, it looks like she plans to continue riding that momentum into the fall, and beyond.

Portuguese designer, Katty Xiomara’s Spring / Summer 2018 collection played to the spirit of “Americana” that swept across New York Fashion Week. With a “parachute trip” theme, models wearing oversized aviator glasses and fierce eye makeup took off in floaty, flirty pieces with mesh-like, see-through and graphic imprinted textiles. In colors of sea green and pink, tunic maxi dresses, hot pants, ruffled skirts and sweet doyly collared tops referenced fashion from Southern California bohemian chic to preppy prim and proper. Xiomara seeks to create aspirational yet accessible pieces. Her Spring / Summer 2018 collection is wearable, although not completely original. Showing in Portuguese Fashion Week since 1998, Xiomara has achieved international recognition for her elegant and timeless pieces. In June 2014, she was awarded the second prize (Silver) by the International Design Awards on the Pret-a- Porter category. In April 2015 was awarded: Second Prize (Silver) in Pret-a- Porter Competition for the Wireframe Project and Honorable Mention in Women PP Competition for the Wireframe Project.

#NYFWM: Nick Graham S/S 2018

by xoJohn

Nick Graham presented today his latest collection, entitled Atlantis at New York Fashion Week/Men’s. Inspired by the mythical continent and the ocean, the collection was further influenced from fashion in the 60’s and Graham used Donovan’s 1968 hit record “Atlantis” as the music for the show. The start of the show featured a 10-minute short film directed by Graham based upon the ocean with music from 16-year-old composer, Truman Gaynes, adding to the overall experience.

“Even before the “Life On Mars” show, I was thinking of exploring the ocean, and not only our impact on it, but it’s impact and influence on us. The Atlantis show is really a metaphor within a fashion show. In many ways we are Atlantis and need to be cognizant of where we live and how we live here,” Graham has said.

#NYFWM: Landlord Fall/Winter 2017

by John Stolen

Remember High School? Wait – remember that song “Bring it All To Me”? Who was that by? Blaque? There was that line “Are you feelin’ my timbs, my baggy jeans…”

LANDLORD’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection throws me right back into the middle of that – driving around in my 1986 Suburban with my bffs, each and every one of us wearing Timbs and baggy jeans. We were so cool. Sixteen year old me would have gone HAM on this collection, though, because it’s everything I had never (and always) dreamed of. Metallics, cool brights, jeweled embellishments, a sparkly sequin smiley face woven into the hair on the back of one model’s head – seriously, give me a time machine and an unlimited budget and my teenage self would be off the charts happy. But that’s just one side of the collection – the luxe, bedazzled, embellishments and accents, like the lavender (faux?) fur coat (layered under a moss green, canvas utility jacket).

The other side continues the utilitarian theme of the previous 2 collections from this label. Congruency is important in defining a fresh-faced label such as LANDLORD, and to see it so early in is both promising and indicative that it may have some staying power. That said, the first thing that comes to mind is the image of a little boy playing dress-up in his daddy’s closet (tho, maybe that says more about me). Delivering trends is a business decision – imbuing trends with a twist that literally makes the wearer look as though they absconded with papa’s trench, is an artistic license that I’m delighted LANDLORD took. #daddylessons

#NYFWM: Krammer & Stoudt Fall/Winter 2017

by xoJohn

‘In this season of profound change politically and socially, it seemed appropriate to focus on the invisible among us, unfortunates who piece together a way of life by forging relationships not
necessarily familial, but just as strong, and express themselves creatively and to the world as a
tribe, a united front against the injustices dealt them. Their expression is rebellious, permanently youthful, with extreme resilience to the elements and the circumstances they must overcome to survive. They are known for moving around the country by very old fashioned means, by hopping freight trains.

We were introduced to this tribe of modern day vagabonds via living in the Western cities of Los
Angeles, Austin, Taos…they seem ubiquitous in these places. The photographer Mike Brodie documented his time amongst them in a body of work called ‘A Period of Juvenile Prosperity’and his imagery was a strong visual influence on the collection. Warm but muted tones, open landscapes, raw and rustic textures. Creative Director Mike Rubin’s fondness for the Scottish-born artist Peter Doig, specifically his Works on Paper, most recently seen at Michael Werner Gallery in NYC, played a part in the inspiration for the palette of the AW17 collection.’
