New York Fashion Week | Elie Tahari Fall 2010
Crafted from necessity and styled with an understated sophistication, the latest menswear collection from Elie Tahari treads a careful narrative of blacks and grays.

New York Fashion Week | Gant by Michael Bastian Fall/Winter 2010
This season, Gant recruited designer Michael Bastian for Gant by Michael Bastian. Viewing the range as the wardrobe of “the younger brother to the Michael Bastian guy”, the designer’s collection was inspired by lacrosse and Gant’s archives. Going for a casual vibe, the laidback collection was showcased during a presentation, where models gathered in a locker room to shoot the breeze. Including everything from knitwear and khakis to mesh shorts, Bastian’s Gant outing was the timeless marriage of prep and jock.
New York Fashion Week | Calvin Klein Fall 2010
Never losing sight of the future, Calvin Klein continues on a narrow path, focusing energy on the evolution of the suit. For Calvin Klein, this means sheen, synthetic fabrics and heavy-handed silhouettes. While suiting takes on a boxy fit, ribbed sportswear adds texture and exaggerated proportions are explored for memorable outerwear. Cold and distant, the Calvin Klein man is complicated, but his approach to the fall season is simple–the goal is structure, a little flash and a penchant for tomorrow’s trends.
