#NYFWM: Landlord Fall/Winter 2017

by John Stolen
written by John Stolen 2 minutes read

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
written by xoJohn 1 minutes read

‘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.’

#NYFWM: Max ‘n Chester Fall/Winter 2017

by xoJohn
written by xoJohn 2 minutes read

The Max ‘n Chester Fall Winter 2017 collection tells a sophisticated, compelling story based on the brand’s four pillars of fabric, design, silhouette, and comfort. This season reflects music’s influence on fashion through the decades, specifically the punk and grunge periods. Oversized sweaters and a palette of blacks and charcoals are a direct nod to that influence. Ultimately, the line reflects designer and founder Peter Trainor’s personal aesthetic. “What I wear is what I design. It’s the fabric that inspires me more than anything,” says Trainor. Incorporating bold new patterns and fabrications as well as introducing outerwear and sweater options for the first time, the designer says of the collection, “Anyone can look good in a suit, but fashion is about how you articulate yourself with the wardrobe that you have, and this collection gives the wearer the ability to do that.” The fall winter collection explores new silhouettes for both men and women, all working to achieve an effortless, elegant aesthetic for the confident wearer striving for individuality.

The men’s collection is the most vivacious yet, incorporating a lovely green color story with dark hunter greens, olives, and camels which prove to be a bright compliment to the blacks, charcoals, and navys that Max ‘n Chester notoriously utilizes in their fall winter collections. Pops of brown and burgundy also make surprise appearances as well as eye catching polka dot and striped suits. Buttery corduroy and faded camouflage come together in a military inspired jacket and an adventurous aztec-printed set give the men’s line a fresh look. Never before seen waist coats, painters shirts, and hunter jackets are strong additions to the classic blazers and pants that have become the brand’s trademark. Max ‘n Chester is known for using only the best Japanese sourced materials and this season they introduce mohair, moleskin, two-sided jersey, and wool bouqlet which are no exception to the rule. The collection is all about texture and layering, shirts have uneven hemlines and oversized sweaters are meant to be worn over blazers for a look unique to the brand. The fall winter 2017 men’s collection is the largest and strongest compilation yet from Max ‘n Chester.

#NYFWM: Private Policy AW17

by xoJohn
written by xoJohn 1 minutes read

For the fall/winter 2017 season, PRIVATE POLICY takes on the ever-changing landscape of modern globalization; by realizing that globalization has surpassed the “neighboring” relationship and moved into a “polycephaly” based relationship; a condition of having multiple heads conjoined to one body. These “heads” are meant to symbolize each nation’s unique beliefs, cultural identities and interests. The “one body” is a metaphor for a giant global system that can easily be affected by a single action taken by any other country. The “body” cannot survive without the “heads” collaboration, so the trouble of one area becomes the trouble of all.

This inspiration can mostly be seen throughout the collection with the use of collaging and graphic patterns. A biker jacket and cropped trouser combine bright graphics of other country’s flags to create an impactful centralized moment. Straps, chains and harness details promote the idea of multiple pieces being interconnected and the need for them to work together to function. The mixing of unconventional fabrics like velvet and denim further support the concept of opposites coming together; and the introduction of heavy canvases, quilting, and nylon hint at militarism which acknowledges the ever growing issue between war and government.
