Deveaux Men’s Fall 2017

Pretty isn’t the most common adjective used to describe men’s wear shown in New York, but those were the words heard from the crowd after seeing Deveaux’s fall collection.
Matt Breen, Andrea Tsao and Patrick Doss, who design the collection, went on a trip to Iceland and looked to the region’s landscape to inform the assortment. This translated to a earthy color palette contrasted with a black and burgundy story that was inspired by the black sand beaches. In terms of texture, the line was rich and featured shearling coats, suede jackets and chenille knits. They collaborated with the Canadian footwear brand Viberg on footwear. The clothes were beautifully made and draped the body just so.
Deveaux also introduced women’s, a category Breen said customers have asked for and will be ready for retail for spring 2018. These looks were also well crafted, but the least interesting of the bunch.
Overall, the collection was a study in style and a palate-cleanser in a sea of streetwear.

Philipp Plein Pre-Fall 2017

Philipp Plein’s pre-fall collection, with its abundance of hearts, seems to arrive just in time for Valentine’s Day. The traditional symbol of love was printed on chiffon mini-slipdresses and appeared as intarsia on a high-waisted knitted pencil skirt, while patches in the shape of tattoo-inspired hearts were stitched on denim pants and jackets. In keeping with the brand’s flamboyant, maximalist aesthetic, leather biker and bomber jackets, as well a shearling coat trimmed with fox fur, was decorated by bold embroideries and multicolor crystals enriched the skintight evening dresses showing sexy cutouts. Chubby dyed fox jackets, as well as a mink checkered bomber, offered a playful take on the classic fur outerwear.

Raun Larose Men’s Fall 2017

For his debut at New York Fashion Week: Men’s, New York-based designer Raun Larose played with volumes and proportions for his collection.
The designer was also unafraid to experiment with feminine fabrics and details such as a silver metallic flowy sweatpant paired with an extra-extralarge coated parka.
“My inspiration was a cross between artistic references and mainstream consumerism,” said Larose.
Highlights included a brown speckled tweed varsity jacket paired with a cable knit vest, and brown quilted down throw over a graphic hoodie with oversized flared track pants.
Overall, this freshman collection was cohesive and forward-looking and left one eager to see more innovative pieces in future seasons.
