NYFW: Richard Chai’s Soft Geometrics For SS14
One of the first big shows to start New York Fashion Week at the Lincoln Center’s tents, Richard Chai‘s Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The show marked the debut of a collaboration between Chai and the leather goods brand, Andrew Marc, on a range of leather jackets and shoes.
Chai’s collection was inspired from soft geo shapes, and for the men’s wear, that translated to seersucker blazers, plaid and pleated shorts, oversized trousers and striped tops. There was a strong use of the essential black, white and blues, but the mustardy shade of cognac on a couple of looks stood out when they emerged.

Paradise Of The Lost Boys: Dsquared2’s SS14 Collection At #MFW
On Milan Fashion Week’s final day, Dsquared2 presented their collection in a man made tropical paradise filled with lush forestry and a waterfall. Dean and Dan Caten, the gay twin brother designers behind Dsquared2, dub the setting #Shangrila, and the story for the presentation is described as:
“Returning war heroes with that innocence of youthful rebellion, reminiscent of 1950’s boy stars, have taken a wrong turn, disappear from radars and now find themselves in an island paradise: golden sands, a dazzling sun, a lush tropical forest make the perfect backdrop for all Earthly Delights. There’s the scent of a tropical adventure, an exciting mix of amplified characters, the contradiction of tribal and formal, the necessity to improvise, and the raw physicality of sweltering hot men on a mission.”
‘Earthly Delights’ indeed, as a hunk dressed only in tribal necklaces and a pair of white briefs (from the brand’s new, upcoming underwear line) kicks off the show as a light shines on him bathing in the waterfall. He steps out, and two matching and lounging male models nearby are revealed also in their underwear. They hand the first model a towel to dry off and one of their geek chic glasses, and he sets out onto the runway.

True Blue: Calvin Klein Men Spring 2014 At #MFW Runway
Presented at Milan Fashion Week over the weekend, the Spring 2014 Calvin Klein Collection was described by Men’s Creative Director Italo Zucchelli as a “celebration of summer.” The line featured pieces with an “athletic spirit and a range of brilliant blues.”
Yes, blue indeed was the made color scheme. Navy, sky, royal, capri, and cerulean blue, all are included and used either with a focus of one color for the entire outfit, or mixed together—with few Spring 2014 looks including white, black, and reds.
Articles included cuffed slim pants, sleeveless leather vest, monochromatic tees, bomber jackets, pullover and zipper sweatshirts with block color pattern, blazers, and snap shirts, among other things.

NYFW & the DETAILS Men’s Accessories Show FW13
Fashion week, a time when designers of all levels showcase their work upcoming lines for either the spring/summer or fall/winter season. You typically have to know someone—or be an editor or buyer for a big name publication or retailer—to get invited to a many runway shows during any fashion week…or of course be a celebrity who’s worn an item from a designer once. However, the streets of the city hosting its fashion week events become runways themselves, even more so than usual. This past weekend kicked off New York Fashion Week, despite some snow blizzard named Nemo.
The Lincoln Center has become the hub for the fashion week events hosted by Mercedes-Benz, the head organizer, since 2010, and after 15 years of being at Bryant Park. While you need a ticket to get into most shows, there was an event open to the public, and for men.
Men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine, DETAILS hosted its first men’s accessories show this past Sunday (Feb. 10). While the publication has hosted runway events to feature various designers over the seasons and years, this was the first time it held one devoted to accessories, and on top of that, all were welcomed without a formal invitation.
