The New York runways
February 3rd, 2007 by MrLuxuryFashionGuruThe first day of NYC menswear shows for FW07/08 were today and overall nothing terribly exciting happened.
Rag and Bone presented the most tightly edited show (just 19 looks), with few missteps, I think. I love their “Nelson” waistcoats, especially since I had an almost identical one tailored for me two years ago.
John Bartlett’s clothes had the best polished finish of the lot. The Perry Ellis Signature show was really dull, and didn’t seem to have a sharp editorial point to make And finally the Duckie Brown show displayed some creative potential with a few strong ideas (that one plaid coat comes to mind), but fairly poor execution overall (those suits! ugh…) and a remarkable incoherence for just 26 looks (no, a couple of pop-color wigs, gloves and beanies are NOT enough to tie a show together).
Anyway, it’s not like we didn’t know that American menswear is one increasingly unadventurous (and poorly executed) yawn. Hopefully there will be something better to report over the next few days.

The ads in the Adidas boutique round the corner look suspiciously like the current (and long-running) Lacoste ads… hmmmn.

Thanks so much for taking the tiime to write about our collection.
We would love to invite you down to our studio the next time you are in New York – and perhaps we can take you through the collection so you can have a beter understanding of what you saw.
With regard to “those suits”, we believe it’s just a matter of training your eye to think about a different silouhette, which we offer to our fashion forward customers. Certainly Cathy Horyn from the NY Times thought they were fresh and modern – check out her blog on the NY Times website.
Best,
Daniel

Your articles and photos are really shock me. The pen can be a weapon! You are a talented writer with a pen, and maybe you will be a great politician with the power given from citizens.

During a recent PASSWORD AUDIT by my bank, they found that I was using the following password:

When they asked me why I had such a long password
I replied
”Are you bloomin’ stupid? I was told that my password had to
be at least 8 characters long and include one capital”
