NYMD
This presentation in the morning was all about new and up and coming menswear designers that broke away from the normal idea of men’s fashions. Since this was a presentation, I was able to get up close to the models and see that all the collections used beautiful, high-quality fabrics and all the garments had expert workmanship. It was held on September 9, 2022 at Daylight Studios as part of New York Fashion Week. The show was presented by the brand Nobis and put together by the wonderful team at Agentry PR. www.agentrypr.com
A. POTTS
This designer, Aaron Potts is about being gender neutral with his creations. Skirts and dresses now can be worn by both genders not just people who identify themselves as female anymore. The collection was inspired by angels and lightning. Fabrics used were organza , crinkled linens, chiffon, eyelet and metallics which were once thought of as women wear fabrics but this designer is out to change those traditional rules. The styles are geared towards many different types of body shapes and are easy to get and out of. Sizes XS – XL or 1 -5. For more information go to Instagram @apottscollection

AMIROK
Designed by Michael Nelson and the Spring/Summer 2023 collection’s theme has influences from South Africa. Hand embroidery on stretchable knitwear is done in India and when I got up close to the clothes, I saw that it was very beautiful. Since the clothes were about Africa some of the components were made in Botswana. Sized S – XL and priced at $400.00 – $2,000.00 To buy go to www.amirok.com
ATELIER CILLIAN
Designed by Stephen Mikhail. The theme of the Spring/Summer 2023 collection was inspired by the deserts of Egypt with the colors of the sand, pyramids and landscape there and The Hubris of Howard Carter. The strategy of the collection is the structured suit. This is a timeless and classic collection that can be worn by the hipster in the city or the guy who goes to the country club. I love the use of the gold color in the clothes with the gold jewelry because it makes the suits become alive! He also does custom made apparel. To purchase go to www.ateliercilian.com
TEDDY VONRANSON
The name of the collection is the same name as the designer. His inspiration for the Spring/Summer 2023 season is Joshua Tree in the California desert. He uses the neutral colors of the desert in muted shades of stone, sand and bone. His tailored collection is made up of light and airy fabrics of linen and silk. The silhouettes are suits with oversized double-breasted jackets, camp shirts, shorts, tant tops and cardigans. For Spring weather, he made suede and leather coats not shown in my photo. This is another collection that is timeless and classic for the everyday guy who doesn’t want to look too edgy. To purchase www.teddyvonranson.com
