For his Spring 2017 show, Ricardo Seco raised awareness for endangered species with his LIFE collection, on New York Fashion Week: Men’s runways.
Chapter’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection draws, as in the past, on architectural themes, this time pitting the structure of architectural lines against the more fluid spirit of socialization and human interaction.
Uri Minkoff presented his Spring 2017 collection at NYMD with a performance that comments and focuses on the elasticity of time. “I am inspired by the idea of [time] slowing down and isolating key moments” – a thought that neatly encapsulates the process of social media to date, capturing key moments, slowing them down and presenting them in an individual context.
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.
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.
