DESIGNER Thaddeus O'Neil is explaining his fascination with a Japanese knit from which a shirt in his latest collection is made.
His New York Fashion Week: Men's S/S 2017 presentation is in progress at Cadillac House. Listening, I am reminded of two important truths. More often than not, designers put a lot of thought into their collections. Of course, there is a fair amount of over-promising and under-delivering. But, still.
Second reminder: Regardless of one's milieu s/he often wants to be well-dressed, including TO's surfer audience ...
Whereas Day 2 of men's fashion week was taxing on the brain (Gypsy Sport, for instance), Day 3 is more laidback; easy like Sunday morning / it's summertime and the living is easy.
To that end, Assembly New York considers the notion of balance. Translation: Engaging loose-fitting garments that hang well and look comfortable. B&w and a few prints. Quality, understated silk, terry, organic cotton. Models, all sporting locs.
Going to / hanging out at the beach? Looking for something in subtle prints and/or solids? Well-constructed, well-sourced? Thorsun has you covered.
Elsewhere, there is a new Riviera, bursting with energy; Taittinger is flowing. Grab your passport, pack your rags (Nautica). Bon voyage.
