Boyswear – handled the first-ever New York Fashion Week: Men’s collection of shows with an oddly fun and spirited presentation from a retro time-warp, fueled by “The Sound of Music” soundtrack. Jackson McKeehan’s inaugural showing of Boyswear actually worked – or maybe it was just the humidity on a chic midsummer’s day.

Matiere S/S ’16 #NYFWM debut was focused on sophisticated fabrics and details that give a strong sense of modernism and streetwise spirit.

Matiere spring ’16 hosted a color palette of creamy off-white that created a build-up to true indigo, dusted with grey and city-black – reminiscent of the ocean. The collection was comprised of sleek surfaces and interesting textiles paired with technical nylons, cotton slub, and brushed cashmere.

#NYFWM: Thaddeus O’Neil Spring/Summer 2016

The kingpin of apres surf wear strikes again – Thaddeus O’Neil, known for his relaxed, beach-bum chic collections, takes us on a journey to an isolated, tropical island and leaves us shipwrecked with his lost boys, his Children of the Night. Bloody noses, lips, and eyes don’t stop these boys from strutting down the runway with their passive and stoic bravado. Pineapple prints and loose knits belie the look in their eyes.

#NYFWM: Kenneth Ning Spring/Summer 2016

Kenneth Ning’s Summer/Spring 2016 collection is a refreshing exploratory leap from seasons past. The color palette has evolved to evoke bright spices. Complex prints reminiscent of sand mandalas bounce throughout the line. Vibrant mustard yellow and crisp jade run along side deep navy. Floral jacquards punctuate a horizontal take on the pinstripe suit. Sheer bandanas emblazoned with floral prints serve to accessorize the outfits, sometimes going so far as to shield the entire face from view.

#NYFWM: Carlos Campos Spring/Summer 2016

Subtlety has always been the name of the game with Carlos Campos. His Spring/Summer 2016 collection is inspired by the “Forastero” – the stranger, the outsider – the man alone who stands out but is wholly a mystery to all. Campos conveys this theme with a solid line of muted, hunter green garments, peppered with palm prints, pops of camel, and one solitary red, camo, sleeveless suit. The structuring remains relaxed, as we are accustomed, but the double-breasted, belted blazers, give the line a more rigid, upright, and utilitarian look.

#NYFWM: David Hart Spring/Summer 2016

David Hart takes us back to our formative years, incorporating primarily primary colors, with a touch of green. Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, Hart‘s SS16 collection calls out the primary building blocks, of fashion and prints. Staying with his strong tailoring techniques he showcases structured linen suits with flat front trousers, pleated shorts, and geometric prints that allude to more tactile textures of the Bauhaus-era manufacturers. A front flap added to select pairs of shorts add the architectural element that imbues the inter-war era movement.
