Let’s hear it for the boys!
WWD confirms that the Council of Fashion Designers of America is going ahead with plans to launch New York Fashion Week: Men. The first edition of the menswear event will be held this summer, July 13-16, 2015.
It will all take place at Skylight Clarkson Sq in SoHo and be sponsored by Amazon and its fashion sites: Amazon Fashion, East Dane and MyHabit. DreamWorks and Shinola will also throw in its support.
Brands participating will include Calvin Klein Collection, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Rag & Bone, Billy Reid, Todd Snyder, Michael Bastian, Ovadia & Sons, Public School, Robert Geller, Timo Weiland, Kent & Curwen and Patrik Ervell.
It is hopeful that New York Fashion Week: Men can grow to be a quick success like London Collections: Men.
CFDA chief executive officer Steven Kolb shares, “We’re not naïve enough to think that we’re going to create a huge, international mega men’s fashion week immediately. We know we have to build it from the ground up. But we’re going to do a good job, and we know we’ll be able to compete on a more global basis in the future.”
