Loris Diran is a New York based designer who had the home town out in full force for his runway presentation at the inaugural New York Fashion Week: Men’s. Mr. Diran is of French-Armenian descent and immigrated with his parents to New York City as a child. The Loris Diran fashion aesthetic was formed by his admiration for the high glam of NYC in the ’70s. You can see the influence in looks that can be easily pictured on Studio 54 era David Bowie, the blue overcoat with the bold diagonal stripe for example.
The entire Loris Diran collection is drawn from a well-curated palette of browns, blues, and grays. The designer showed innovation in his fabric choices which included tweed, neoprene, and gabardine. The ensembles ranged from activewear to complete suiting. His pant lengths eschewed the trendy Bermuda short suit and focused on the different lengths and silhouettes of crop pants, jodhpurs, and mid-calf slim pants. Well-tailored blazers were shown with contrasting trim that would make a statement at any Hampton’s garden party. A tweed business suit with a tie belt blazer and crop pant are perfect for the fashion-forward professional.
