Cool for the Summer

Almost every girls dream is to be a part of New York City Fashion Week. A time where the world’s top designers showcase their clothing wardrobe for the upcoming season through a ray of events, runway shows, presentations, and through media. This summer for the first time fashion is taking a turn toward the men of the industry with the first ever New York Fashion Week Men’s. Fashions biggest collections are being shown from designers such as Public School, Thom Browne, Calvin Klein, Robert Geller and others sharing their men’s collection.

Men’s fashion has definitely emerged due to the use of social media, its social commentary. The way we use social media these days sharing everything about ourselves, even fashion, men’s style has changed along with men wanting to be more involved - whether it’s through a photo, a like, a video, a share, it doesn’t matter – there is always something there to share. Men’s fashion is having their moment and with a lot more platforms to cover stories on, there’s a lot to talk about.

The best part of the inaugural season is being able to get front row seats, hangout at presentations, drink at select shows, and see the best of the best celebrities showing up. John Varvatos is known for his flashy parties and concerts during New York Fashion Week. This season for men’s week he closed everything out with a Rock N Roll scene and dandy stripes. Perry Ellis loved his venue at Skylight Studios and loved the “inspiration this Spring 2016”. The big thing he saw is sandals.

Street style was another big hit and walking the streets in this “hot” summer sun can a lot for us writers and editors. I gets easier this year because shows and events aren’t as far away, especially for this upcoming season for September. Fashion week is fun and covering men’s style is what makes things, not only because it’s the first men’s week, but because it makes things different and everyone is now more involved. When you’re attending upcoming shows be sure to get your pen, paper, candy bar, and camera ready to write down your notes and don’t forget to keep an open mind with what you say.
