“Because of this, the CFDA will not list Kanye West on the official schedule.”
The collection will be available on March 2.
Get rid of that toxic residue!
AYR’s new model debuts a piece a week.
He’s been with the brand for 12 years.
Pretty isn’t the most common adjective used to describe men’s wear shown in New York, but those were the words heard from the crowd after seeing Deveaux’s fall collection.
Matt Breen, Andrea Tsao and Patrick Doss, who design the collection, went on a trip to Iceland and looked to the region’s landscape to inform the assortment. This translated to a earthy color palette contrasted with a black and burgundy story that was inspired by the black sand beaches. In terms of texture, the line was rich and featured shearling coats, suede jackets and chenille knits. They collaborated with the Canadian footwear brand Viberg on footwear. The clothes were beautifully made and draped the body just so.
Deveaux also introduced women’s, a category Breen said customers have asked for and will be ready for retail for spring 2018. These looks were also well crafted, but the least interesting of the bunch.
Overall, the collection was a study in style and a palate-cleanser in a sea of streetwear.

Philipp Plein’s pre-fall collection, with its abundance of hearts, seems to arrive just in time for Valentine’s Day. The traditional symbol of love was printed on chiffon mini-slipdresses and appeared as intarsia on a high-waisted knitted pencil skirt, while patches in the shape of tattoo-inspired hearts were stitched on denim pants and jackets. In keeping with the brand’s flamboyant, maximalist aesthetic, leather biker and bomber jackets, as well a shearling coat trimmed with fox fur, was decorated by bold embroideries and multicolor crystals enriched the skintight evening dresses showing sexy cutouts. Chubby dyed fox jackets, as well as a mink checkered bomber, offered a playful take on the classic fur outerwear.

For his debut at New York Fashion Week: Men’s, New York-based designer Raun Larose played with volumes and proportions for his collection.
The designer was also unafraid to experiment with feminine fabrics and details such as a silver metallic flowy sweatpant paired with an extra-extralarge coated parka.
“My inspiration was a cross between artistic references and mainstream consumerism,” said Larose.
Highlights included a brown speckled tweed varsity jacket paired with a cable knit vest, and brown quilted down throw over a graphic hoodie with oversized flared track pants.
Overall, this freshman collection was cohesive and forward-looking and left one eager to see more innovative pieces in future seasons.

This year marks the 130th anniversary of Hart Schaffner Marx, but the venerable brand best known for its traditional tailored clothing isn’t showing its age — thanks to the Hart x Hart capsule designed by David Hart.
This marks the second season Hart has worked with the brand, and this time — in celebration of the milestone birthday — he set out to reinvent the power suit in a collection inspired by classic vintage cars such as Camaros and Chevelles.
“It’s about the new power stripe, the power plaid and the power check,” he said, pointing to the slim-fitting suits in traditional men’s wear patterns such as Prince of Wales, windowpanes and glen plaids.
There was also a smattering of formalwear that included a striking purple velvet smoking jacket to complement the more-conventional tuxedos.
Although the silhouettes were updated, the collection continued to boast full-canvas construction and the use of Italian merinos and cashmere blends, all executed at HSM’s owned factories in Chicago and Cleveland.

“We were sad, too,” said Laurence Chandler, who designs Rochambeau with Joshua Cooper. Chandler was referring to their recent loss. The design team competed in the Woolmark Prize collection recently and pulled out all of the stops for their collection — collaborating with Nike, Avery Denison and more on the line.
Collaboration was at the forefront of their fall collection, and they worked directly with singer, composer and visual artist Mark Mothersbaugh. “I find it so much more interesting to work with artists directly on something instead of just saying, ‘the collection was inspired by so and so,’” said Chandler.
The fall collection, which was rooted in New York City, a signature for the brand, and punk — a recurring theme this season. “We wanted our guy to look like he just left a Black Flag concert,” said Chandler.
Rochambeau’s take on punk involved color and texture. Models wore chunky corduroy trousers, tweed overalls, and mesh tops — some wore mesh face masks embellished with safety pins. The designers used coral, tangerine, teal, cobalt and navy, which was most impactful on striped and color block knits along with trench coats. The silhouette was oversized with cropped shirts and turtlenecks. Each of these items
