#NYFWM: Ricardo Seco Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

by John Stolen February 4, 2016

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

As the only Mexican designer being featured at New York Fashion Week Men’s, Ricardo Seco’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection focuses on contemporary Mexico while drawing inspiration from the country’s bold and unique culture and history. Stark, dramatic black provides a foundation upon which Seco builds a vibrant line that plays with color, texture, luxury, and glamour. In this, his 9th collection, (titled “TIME”), Ricardo Seco combines the richness of Mexican culture with its new contemporary sophistication.

#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.

CWST’s newest collection takes on inspiration from a cellular dead zone known as the San Juan Islands, a secluded archipelago tucked into the Puget Sound pocket located just seventy miles northwest of Seattle. Looks are interpreted by the grey washed rain shadows and Douglas-fir of Orcas Island.

#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.

#NYFWM: Lucio Castro Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

My infatuation with Lucio Castro’s dynamic collections of seasons past has officially ended.

According to the design team, “The Stonehenge Collection” is inspired by traveling communities in the UK during the mid-1990’s; and moved around in old buses that were transformed into their respective homes and creative spaces. My interpretation – everyone got dressed in complete darkness after coming down from an ultimate high, courtesy of a “California Kush” smoke session.

#NYFWM: By Robert James Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

When a man complains about not having quality clothing options that transition from day to night, or convert from casual to upscale, please refer him to Robert James fall/winter ’16.

The cool new collection – drenched in black – kept it refined with a mix of double-breasted suits, strong outerwear, and a few pieces meant for a red carpet appearance.

#NYFWM: Joseph Abboud Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

Joseph Abboud’s Fall / Winter 2016 collection is a tribute to America’s rich sartorial heritage that intricately mingles the tradition of fine tailoring with irreverence, intelligence, and innovation, reminiscent of 1960’s Savile Row and the peacock revolution that took the United States by storm.
