Summary Men's fashion week in New York kicked off its third season on Monday.
NEW YORK (AFP) - Men s fashion week in New York kicked off its third season Monday with a presentation by Perry Ellis, whose athletic, casual take is expected to mark a number of spring-summer 2017 collections.
Dozens of designers from Michael Kors to Tommy Hilfiger will present creations over the course of around 60 catwalk shows and presentations, which are expected to conjure a minimalist, relaxed and utilitarian look.
Not all designers will be participating, however.
Steven Cox and Daniel Silver, the creative duo behind Duckie Brown, will be sitting out the season, after presenting a mere six-look collection in February.
"I think it s great that New York can have its own fashion week for men s, or men s and women s together," Silver told The New York Times.
"But we did two shows a year for 13 years... we just decided this is maybe a moment for us not to do a show," he said, lamenting that during fashion week, "we nurture business, we don t nurture creativity."
Below are some of the week s expected presentations and shows:
Tuesday: Joseph Abboud, Tim Coppens, Garciavelez, Stampd, Michael Kors, Loris Diran, Robert Geller, Carlos Campos, Cadet, Gypsy Sport, Brett Johnson and Ovadia & Sons.
Wednesday: Passavant and Lee, Nick Graham, Kenneth Ning, John Elliott, Nautica, Assembly New York, Rochambeau and Tommy Hilfiger.
Thursday: Todd Snyder, Palmiers du Mal, Katama, Timo Weiland and John Varvatos.
