A few seasons ago we were invited to a show that showcased how the guy who is always in transition can enjoy a line of clothing that will take him from hanging out, heading to brunch, a business meeting and beyond. From the first Grungy Gentleman show, we were hooked. This season for their FW20 show, we were invited as guests of one of the brand’s sponsor - Truly Hard Seltzer. Athleisure Mag has partnered with Truly Hard Seltzer since 2016 when they launched and we could definitely see the synergy between these brands.
The Grungy Gentleman show, designed by Jace Lipstein (who like our co-founder is an alumni from Indiana University), kicked off its first look with the NFL New Orleans Saints star Marcus Williams to open the 12th runway show which took place at M1-5 Bar and Lounge in Tribeca.
The show included 28 looks representing Grungy Gentleman’s FW20 collection. In addition to the core portion of the line, attendees were introduced to a number of collabs that included: BTC and two of their MMA fighters which included a 6-piece capsule collection for the GGX line. Another collaboration utilized the classic geometric patterns woven by Pendelton fabric which are created on the jacquard looms in a 107 year old mill. Throughout the show, footwear was provided by PUMA and OOFOS.
Throughout the show and during the afterparty, attendees enjoyed music by DJ Zeke Thomas, son of NBA Hall of Fame player, Isiah Thomas.
