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).

Stylish Women Found At NYFW SS14
Along with capturing men’s street style photography this New York Fashion Week, I captured women’s as well for Latina Magazine, and it would be a crime not to feature the best dressed ladies I came across.
Girls can have a lot of fun with fashion due to the amount of womenswear options available and range of styles choices they can try, hence there being about 100 times more women’s fashion magazine brands in the world than men’s (which is good or bad depending on how much content you want to read and look at).

Hairy Finds: Male Models With Beards At New York Fashion Week SS14
As another New York Fashion Week comes to an end, and as I look through all the men’s runway images and studio presentations, I’ve noticed a large use of bearded models among several designers including Lucio Castro, Michael Bastian and N. Hoolywood (respectively pictured above).
This summer beards made a comeback at Paris shows, and America’s Next Top Model (now featuring men) includes a bearded model, Phil Sullivan. Sullivan (top left) actually modeled for Castro this Fashion Week.
No doubt beards have been in style, well groomed and tamed ones of course, but will we see more bearded gents on the catwalk again in February among their clean, shaven brethren? And do we want them to?
