Q Management–Toting chiseled good looks and an envious new job, Versace face Ryan Barrett leads the pack at Q Management this season. Joining strong runway models such as Bastien Bonizec and Dennis Jager, Jason Poisson adds his brand of quirky to the lineup. Overall, making for a mix of the classic and edgy, Q sets their sight on a balanced fashion week ahead.

Major–Leading in the next generation department, Major brings a fine crop to New York Fashion Week. Hot on the heels of an Armani campaign, Florian Van Bael returns to the Big Apple, along with editorial darlings Eugeniy Sauchanka and David Chiang. From the infectious up and coming lineup, Jacob Morton and Justin Halley are joined by the stunning Paul Craddock. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, the strength of Rob Evans is a strong match to the iconic Scott Barnhill.

New York Model Management–Among the usual suspects who have proven to be casting favorites, ranging from Alexander Johansson and Philipp Bierbaum to Charlie France, New York Model Management gets a fresh boost this season with several hot commodities fresh off the runway from Milan and Paris. Racking up shows left and right this month, Andrey Smidl comes out on top as one to watch, followed by new faces Onnys Aho, Todd Taylor and Jordan Postrel.

Simple Edge–A little raw around the edges, Dominic Louis’ man continues a trek that is wholly his own. Dressed in neutrals, Louis’ lead mixes the accessible with the bold, transitioning from an elongated plaid shirt, loose light-weight tops and cuffed trousers to more daring pieces. Whether it is trousers that billow or a pair that are laced from hem to hem, the collection exudes a notion of simplicity, perfected in its own world with a couple of deconstructed garments joining more finished alternatives.
Boys on Film–If we went back to school, we’d likely be that annoying overachiever and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Unbeaten Path–Citing “an infection in New York” as inspiration, Asher Levine invited show attendees to witness his world for spring’s presentation. Featuring a palette of black, white, gray and purple for the collection, the designer released his models straight from quarantine with malformed arms and skulls. Surprisingly there was still quite the showing of utilitarian garments throughout the show by way of structural jackets, shorts and even a white jumpsuit.
