#NYFW Round-Up: FashionIndie’s Faves from New York Spring 2012

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

There’s a definite consensus around the FashionIndie office regarding this season at the tents: lackluster. Gone was the excitement and the thrill of the new and in its stead stood a circus comprised of the old guard impatiently appraising the crop of would-be streetstyle stars and the army of bloggers hanging about as they waded through the muck of the nameless and the irrelevant to find a collection onto which to pin their ever-dwindling hopes . Still, there were a few shows that set the five barely-beating hearts of FashionIndie racing and had our backs aching to be clothed in their bright and bold designs.

#NYFW Cheat Sheet: Buckler Spring 2012

Edited by McArthur Joseph

Andrew Buckler took his show to the street (literally) for the second season in a row. For and hour a block of the meatpacking district was sectioned off for a group of dandy gentleman and random passerbys to enjoy the runway presentation. Spring knits, nautical stripes, and varsity jackets were given the downtown treatment. Drop crotches, snoods, and distressed denim reminded everyone of the label’s signature style.

Buckler‘s show on Friday took place outside of their store on Grand Street. For the occasion they shut down the entire block between Greene and Mercer Streets, creating some curiosity from passersby as to why there was a mini- army of gorgeous, well-dressed men parading down the street.

Re(Capsule)

Edited by Corey Moran

I popped into New York for a quick minute over the weekend so that I could attend my second season of (Capsule), which has quickly trumped New York Fashion Week as my favorite event of the year. With some amazing designers like Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Denim & Thread, Buckler, Chronicles of Never and April 77, (Capsule) provides buyers and writers the amazing opportunity to see what the hippest designers have planned for the upcoming season. This season featured some of my favorite designers in the industry, and I will be featuring them all week as the pictures roll in from their press offices. 

Chronicles of Never Shoes

I was lucky enough to meet and talk to some amazing people and designers from labels like Wrath Arcane, Velour, Naked & Famous, Lova and S2VS. Another season another great success. I can’t wait to see these collections on the shelves in 2009/2010.

First Look: Buckler SS09 Collection

Edited by Corey Moran

I remeber going to this show a handful of months ago, and after seeing these images resurface I’m beginning to remember how good the show actually was. The collection looked great and the stlying was well done. I will say looking back on it now, that I think this collection came out a bit early, and it seems like a bunch of the new trends were touched upon but not really done to the best of their potential. They do have a great drop crotch short and the color selection was tight, but there is nothing that really stands out to me anymore. The pieces seem fairly standard to me. Could just be me though, what do you think indies?

Thanks Selectism for the images.
