NYFW: The Male Models Backstage At Billy Reid F/W 2014
Fashion Week has come to end, and I just have a couple more round up assignments to put together as I—and the rest of the North East—prepares for yet another snow storm this weekend. To get your spirits up a bit in case this snowy week has got you down, I got a chance to shoot backstage before Billy Reid’s presentation for his fall/winer 2014 collection—which featured a lot earth tones on handsome outerwear of various patterns and fabrics (a lot of fur), fitted suits and casual knits.
Check out the male models as they got ready for the show:

NYFW: Mr Turk’s California Prep & Power Pattern Clashing For F/W 2014
Known for fun printed swimwear and use of bold colors, Mr Turk’s fall/winter 2014 collection has given a fresh Californian take on traditional preppy menswear. “Our inspiration for Mr Turk is always this sociable guy, someone who wants to go out. Whether it’s to a cocktail party or our to brunch, not someone who likes to stay at home,” says Creative Director Jonathan Skow at the presentation during New York Fashion Week.

Bold clashing of patterns like paisley, ombre dot, plaid, horizon and vertical stripes, and houndstooth are seen among blazers, cardigans, trousers, vests and the rest of the clothes for the luxury collegiate-meets-newspaper boy styles. See the full looks below:

NYFW: David Hart’s “Twilight Zone”-inspired Fitted Suits & Vintage Styled Menswear For F/W 2014
Showing his fall/winter 2014 collection at the inaugural New York Men’s Day, designer David Hart told me his influence for the collection came from the late-fifties/early-sixties sci-fi show The Twilight Zone, and classic black and white television as a new medium back in it was entering its heyday.
Writing for a post on Details.com, we saw fitted tuxedos and suit jackets made of materials ranging from English silk to guncheck wool, as well as turtlenecks worn under jackets and round cracked eyewear (a nod to the perennial favorite episode “Time Enough at Last“).

NYFW: Michael Bastian’s Japan-inspired Collection For F/W 2014
Another New York Fashion Week season is among us, and it’s off to a fantastic start with Michael Bastian’s fall/winter 2014 presentation on Tuesday at the Rubin Museum of Art. Inspired by trips to Japan, Bastian’s collection ranged from casual to formal evening wear with different pieces and accessories made with kimono fabric (used in scarves, windbreakers and a kimono itself), or with ethnic and artful embroidery—such as a ‘Samurai armor’ fair isle turtleneck sweater, a track jacket with Mt Fuji on the back and a Godzilla cashmere sweater (which everyone will need right away).
