Here goes Day 3 of New York Mens Fashion Week, we’re over half way now and already feel spoiled with the talent, but it’s far from over yet! Here we provide the best of the best that got heads turning and tongues wagging…
‘Engineered for Motion’ is the real meaning behind the brand EFM whose athletic look embodies fashion, function and simplicity in one. Donrad Duncan has showed that traditional tailoring and modern smart materials can work hand in hand, creating laid back bombers, sporty suits and contrast graphic kits. A recurring metallic colour complimented the looks and really gave a sense of a new wave of fashionable sportswear where technical fabrics are paving the way.
Kenneth Ning’s use of deconstructed tailoring and bolted boots really give a sense of tension within his SS18 collection, which is exactly the feeling he wanted to achieve as the concept was based on hackers against the government. His models walked the catwalk in oversized khaki jackets, pieces of shirting fabric hanging onto an edge by one component, and official patches all gave the collection a really fresh and thought-provoking feel. His collection is almost certainly an acquired taste, but is most certainly cleverly thought out and executed.
A collection all about identity and belonging, Sanchez-Kane is a Mexican clothing brand driven by the social, political and ethical chaos in America right now. His SS18 collection is expressive, aggressive and suggestive and leaves a lot for us to discover and ponder on , but Sanchez-Kane the designer has left us plenty of breadcrumbs to follow. He is very much inspired by using art as a form of communication for nationalism, he embraces everything that is seen as imperfection and faults, and just wants peace and equality within the world. His collection truly speaks emotion, we thank you for such artistic skill!
