NYFW: New York Men’s Day Recap

NYFW kicks off with New York Men’s Day where gender fluid and menswear collections make their debut for the upcoming seasons of fall 2020, spring and summer 2021.

 

APOTTS – Spring/Summer 2021

This gender fluid collection was inspired by the early 1900s with its fabric serving as a reminder of the slavery and servitude that took place in America. It’s full of light and dark beige/brown earthy tones as well as some light colored denim. The majority of the pieces are oversized which adds a breezy lightness to each look. The sheering and ruffles that are prominent in some pieces adds a delicate touch of child like innocence.

 

David Hart – Season-less Collection 2021

This line was influenced by the artwork of Peter Harley where he incorporates boxy angular shapes into vibrant pieces. The rich lively colors present throughout the collection brings energy into 2021. Each piece has modern undertones mixed with vertical perfection. Oversized coats and bucket hats seem to be a theme as well as turtle necks layered into the majority of the looks.

 

Carter Young – Spring/Summer 2021

American individualism and freedom was the main inspiration for this menswear collection which is reminiscent of the 70s highlighted by wide leg tailored trousers, open blazers, and necklines hugged by large collars. Crimson, brown and beige tones is favorited throughout the collection. Carter Young brings youthful sophistication to 2021 with each piece.

 

Stan – Spring/Summer 2021

“Surf culture” in Southern California was the main influence for this menswear line. Quilted patterns sewed into long oversized coats and fitted blazers throughout the collection holds stories adding a vintage tone to each piece.

Official Rebrand – Spring/Summer 2021
