Designers On The Verge

Gone are the days when American designers are known for polo shirts, khakis, navy blazers, and solid staples styles. DETAILS magazine considers these 4 new designers from New York as the vanguard of American Fashion.

Patrick Ervell, 30, “My philosophy has never been about doing a major seasonal shift—it’s about gradually developing the collection.”

Adam Kimmel, 29, “It’s good to have fun as long as the clothes are kept in a masculine context.”

Robert Geller, 31, “I make clothes that have strength, which is very important for men.”

Alejandro Ingelmo, 34, “When I can’t think, can’t design, I walk around the city. I see the people walking and I see all this movement and the traffic and I’m very influenced by it.”

More information about Patrik Ervell, Alejandro Ingelmo, Robert Geller, and Adam Kimmel and their styles, respectively, can be found at DETAILS magazine.

I love Zac Posen. He’s one of the few designers who does avant garde that I could actually stomach. Zac Posen can talk the talk and walk the walk. BUT what the heck is up with this look? Like I said, love the gray CHANEL scarf. It matches the argyle sweater he’s wearing underneath the awful gold blazer/jacket.

Too avant garde, even for you Mr. Posen. Not only is it pimpishly gold, it’s oversized. Oh well. I still love him though .
