NYFW SS27 EDIT

It’s that time of year again where fashion descends on various cities for fashion shows, presentations, pop-ups and more. As we looked ahead to SS27 trends and designs, it was another great season. We started off with New York Men’s Day to look at items that should be in our closets.

NYFW SS27 NYMD SESSION 1

Each season, New York Mens Day shares a number of designers that we should keep our eye on. This season, the first session had Avon Anglers, Ouila, Clara Son, and Alienant presenting their upcoming collection via standing presentations and rotating runway shows at Mercedes Benz Manhattan.

Of the 4 shows that presented their collections, we enjoyed seeing Clara Son which we have seen a number of seasons. We also enjoyed Alienant who was on Project Runway S21 with it’s Founder and designer, Yuchen Han. The collection had a number of streetwear looks. In attendance at his show was Project Runway S21 winner Veejay Floresca as well as S22 contestant, Bi Pham.

NYFW SS27 CUSTO BARCELONA

Custo Barcelona is known for vibrant designs that have you vacation ready. So we were excited to go to Radio Park to see their SS27 collection which had vibrant garments that make you think of epic getaways by the beach and enjoying disco parties into the night! Cut outs, retro styles, and a bit of glam was on display during this show with NYC as its background.

NYFW SS27 Frederick Anderson

AS NYFW drew to a close, it was time to see the SS27 Frederick Anderson show at Nebula whose theme was My Garden Party. The runway show opened with a perfomance by Grammy Award and 3X Juno Award winner, Allison Russell. She also closed the show as well.

The show had models carrying stunning florals and wore looks of white, neutrals, lilacs, and more. Whether it was pantsuits, dresses, or separates the collection took you an array of parties, midday galas, and more.

NYFW SS27 Valerian Hughes

Our final show of this year’s SS27 collection was at an art gallery space in Chelsea to see Valerian Hughes. The collection included dresses, suiting, and more for men and women that had a bit of island vibes woven throughout. The tailoring, accessories, and vibe of this show was a great way to end this season.

NYFW COACH SS27 + TANQUERAY GIN

NYFW kicked off its SS27 with a number of shows including Coach which took place on Sep 10th. They celebrated the 85th anniversary by presenting a collection of of slim and straight silhouettes. In addition the line includes loveworn materials and refined tailoring as well as inside-out construction. Of course, leatherwork is also an essential element of the collection and the brand. Creative Director, Stuart Vevers shared that, “for Coach’s 85th anniversary, I was thinking about memory and the way familiar things change as we live with them. I didn’t want to make a retrospective. We turned familiar Coach ideas inside out, exposed their construction, softened them and left traces of celebration on them. Having 85 years behind us gives us the confidence to look forward.” Attendees say archetypes that illustrate Vevers’ vision for Coach - trench coats, leather jackets, tuxedos, bias-cut dresses, and Western boots.

Prior to guests watching the runway show, they were able to read the collection notes as they sipped on Coach 85 (Inspired by Coach’s 85th anniversary, the COACH 85 is a vibrant, effortlessly polished serve that feels like the cocktail equivalent of a new-season runway look. Fresh pink grapefruit and lemon bring a bold pop of color, Tanqueray London Dry Gin adds an elegant finish. Bright, sophisticated and just unexpected enough, it’s the perfect accessory for taking you from front row to afterparty), an anniversary cocktail made with Tanqueray Gin. Post the presentation, guests were able to enjoy a continued party for Coach Club 85. Tanqueray Gin partnered with Coach as the official sponsor of the runway show and afterparty.
