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.
New York Fashion Week | DKNY Fall 2010
Mixing suiting and streetwear, DKNY gets in touch with their urban side this season. Dark and somber, the collection bundles up for fall’s initial cold, looking to quilting and mountain boots to set the tone. Meanwhile, pleated trousers are slightly baggy and suitable for all occassions, not only giving DKNY’s man a city edge, but a modern grace. Effortlessly dressed head to toe, fall’s collection hits the right note for both the style aficionado and the everyday man.

AJ Abualrub first got into the modeling world when he was named a semi-finalist in VMAN and Ford’s model search. He became a Calvin Klein favorite and appeared in their men and jeans campaigns. AJ has also starred in campaigns for Levi’s, Uniqlo and Frankie Morello. He became quite the story when he lost thirty pounds for the spring 2011 season, but the buzz only seemed to propel his career more. AJ’s most recent campaign is Sisley shot by none other than Terry Richardson.
