Reversing the spelling of his full name, designer Eric Kim moves forward with the launch of his new label Mik Cire. Formerly, the creative force behind Monarchy, Kim is branching out to explore a line that entails more than just denim and t-shirts. Hoping to create a full-range of affordable garments with a fashionable appeal, fall’s debut sees a penchant for black effortlessly tied to an accessible look–representative of a generation intrigued with the art of dressing, but ultimately with an approach that is young and current. Combining sharp outerwear with the provocativeness of street fashion, the Mik Cire’s man is off to a beat of his own with great future potential.

Channeling the mood of downtown New York City of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the latest collection from J.Sabatino models itself after the artists living in illegal lofts. Often dressed with a refreshing apt for an effortless cool taken from the thrift stores of the day, the range takes its muses from the films of Jim Jarmusch (Permanent Vacation) and Ulli Lommel (Blank Generation). Fusing subtle patterns and colors with dramatic relaxed proportions, whether small or large, a nostalgic charm takes designer Jay Sabatino’s collection far.

Stripped of gender, Rad Hourani continues his dark journey of fit and shape. Dressing the tall and lanky in a monochromatic color palette of black, Hourani turns to texture and shape to distinguish key features in fall’s offerings. Turning the tide away from skin tight pants and leggings, outerwear gets a voluminous boost as it is transformed into a protective shield from the outside world. Within Hourani’s creative realm, a collective identity breeds a new view for menswear that escapes the cruel eye of gender norms in favor of a hardened sense of freedom.

Taking a step back from last season’s collection, designer Richard Chai opts for a casual fall season of blues, grays and blacks. Evoking the image of the boy next door, Chai ties together a string of loose easily integrable pieces that imitate a little wear around the edges with oil-like gradients, thin layers and slouchy fits. Continuing a comfortable blend of streetwear with a high fashion approach, Chai crafts a sophisticated yet relaxed fall season.

Recent winner of GQ’s best menswear designer, Billy Reid piles on the southern charm for his latest fall venture. Setting the tone with a moody set covered in fall’s crumpled leaves, Reid presented a strapping collection for the grounded gentleman. Unsurprisingly earthy, the range moved away from the tailored suit, gradually forming a masculine collection of wearable pieces that evoke romanticized images of those who work with their hands for a living, whether it is the woodsman or fisherman. Simple, but finely executed, Reid demonstrates how far great construction and detail can take a collection.
