It’s been a busy New York Fashion Week so far, but I’m happy to finally share some of my street style photos from this season.

Perry Ellis Spring 2015 Collection + The Models Backstage

Perry Ellis returned to New York Fashion Week this season under new Creative Director Michael Maccari to show hi debut collection. For inspiration for the collection, Maccari looked at the art of Sean Scully for color and overall direction. “We are calling it Changes and Horizontals. Linear groupings, color play, and a nod to ‘active’ with the repetition of lines in his work became the foundation for print and trim details,” the designer shared earlier with me for AskMen.com, adding that the overall look is graphic, neat and colorful. This resulted in well structured suits and graphics prints on sweatshirts, shorts and bomber jackets were in the collection, plus light and technical outwear that included anoraks and cropped summer parkas.

mr-turk-fashion-week-fw14-14

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.
