4 New Designers To Watch

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 15:27:44 +0000

Remember these names : Patrik Ervell, Alejandro Ingelmo, Robert Geller, and Adam Kimmel. They are the 4 new designers on the verge of changing the face of Menswear in American Fashion.

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.

New York Fashion Week : DKNY Fall 2008 Collection

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:19:13 +0000

At New York Fashion Week, Donna Karan showcased her 14 DKNY Men’s Fall 2008 collection. She vowed one day to put DKNY Men in ties and gosh darnnit it, she did. She followed suit, no pun intended, with the layering trend for Fall. Wool over nylon, cardigan over jacket, etc. Tim Blanks thought the Donna Karan’s collection could’ve benefited from the red accents detailed on scarves but I digress. My reason after the pictures…

I love Donna Karan’s DKNY Men’s Fall 2008 Collection. The styles may be a bit boring for runway standards but they certainly transcends off the runway. I hate it when clothes featured on the runway doesn’t have a chance in the real world’s everyday life. I could easily see any of these suits ensemble paired with indigo jeans on any of you guys. The collection is relatable and not in the least bit superfluous.
