When you think of a brand that creates effortless looks with hints of modernity for women, make sure O’2nd comes to mind. After their Fall/Winter ’16 Presentation at New York Fashion Week, O’2nd is truly making their own lane in womenswear. O’2nd is a brand that was established in New York, however, its roots lie in Seoul, South Korea. Being lead by brand director, Minsoo Chung: this collection pushed for originality and expression in bright colors. The details were truly spectacular, including using soft fabrics to mimic fur on a blouse. There was also unexpected attention on specific parts of the clothing, such as the bottom cuffs and coat collars. Their inspiration drew from the Victorian Era, with an embrace of the high-vintage theme. American artist Frank Stella’s black and white artwork was also additional inspirations that made subtle details into the clothing, especially with the cut-out shirt contrasts.

#NYFWM: Greg Lauren Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

by John Stolen February 4, 2016

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

In keeping with his previous collections, Greg Lauren brings us a full presentation of old world antics (think newsboys and boxing matches) with a post-apocalyptic twist. Consistent in his distressed detailing Lauren’s FW2016 Men’s collection provides a unique approach to sportswear. Keeping to hues of olive, gray, brown, and black, the collection is anything but drab. Lauren is an artist, and his work is presented with such imagination. Collections always “tell a story”, but often the story is left to the viewer’s imagination, sometimes with rough guidelines that indicate the feeling or direction the designer intends the collection to take – Lauren presents the story and the collection as one.

#NYFWM: Matiere Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

This season Matiere focused on updating looks for the urban global traveler.

One of the few collections that actually designed for cold weather – Matiereused Italian virgin wool, woolen gauze plaids, and luxurious cashmere as running threads throughout, providing both texture and warmth.

I’m a big fan of Matiere’s casual metropolitan looks, and the collection wins as a menswear brand that allows materials to lead the overall design with modern silhouettes.

GANT was founded by Ukranian immigrant Bernard Gantmache and his sons in 1949. It all started as a family business built around a simple well constructed shirt and has since grown into a major fashion brand. The house of GANT is divided in three distinct sub-brands: GANT Originals, GANT Rugger and GANT Diamond G. All three brands were represented at New York Fashion Week via an eye opening presentation. The inspiration was classic preppy style with a modern edge.

Pyer Moss NYFW SS2016 Runway Presentation was a platform form for more than Fashion. Haitian Born Pyer Moss Founder and head designer Kerby–Jean Raymond had a statement to make. The show started with a 10-minute video chronicling the many victims of police violence across the country courtesy of the “Pyer Moss News Network”. The short film featured interviews with artist, journalists, celebrities and family members of victims of police violence, including Usher Raymond, Robert Verdi, Joel Towers, the dean of the Parsons School, Oscar Grant’s mother Wanda Johnson, Eric Garner’s daughter Emerald Garner, Sean Bell’s wife Nicole Bell. The video clips seen repeatedly in the last year took on fresh meaning with the new visceral editing and personal commentary.
