Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week - SPURR Spring 2010

Simon Spurr artfully combines color, excellent tailoring, and comfort (yes! Comfort in fashion! Who Knew) to create a wearable spring/summer menswear collection.

21 models lined up against a wall in showing off looks that ranged from tuxedo to casual wear. SPURR is known for his excellent tailoring, love of color and the understanding that while men want to look good, they don't want what they wear to overpower their personalities.

Merecedes Benz New York Fashion Week - Duckie Brown Spring 2010

Fashion Week is upon us! Now's the time to make shopping lists and mental notes for spring and summer.

Duckie Brown's (Daniel Silver and Steven Cox) theme was "exposure and vulnerabilty."  the design duo who usually creates looks that would be comfortable in the artic, have gone into a different direction utilizing lightweight almost sheer fabrics.

The superior construction is still there, so is the wearability and comfort of the clothes. Looking at some of the styles, the Mod Look of the 60's and Brit films of that era come to mind. It's almost as if the designers were paying an hommage to the look and feel of early James Bond movies, and the Urban hot and hungry young Brit of the 60's when the youthquake occurred.
