10 Essentials Elements for (an Unseasonably Warm) New York Fashion Week

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:32:57 +0000

Twice a year, we at FashionIndie raid, ransack and rape our closets in an effort to put together a compelling look that will have all other fashionistas wishing they had stayed the eff home. In September, the last vestiges of summer make it slightly easier to turn it proverbially out, but February usually requires a lot of layering and the outfit often has to be cruelly covered up to stave off the ravages of winter. This New York Fashion Week, however, the winter has been suspiciously mild. Temperatures have barely dipped below freezing and nary a snow flake has dropped in weeks. So let’s just ignore our impending doom thanks to the totally buzz-killing reality of global warming and instead focus on what matters: dressing for the Tents. Here are 10 staples — 5 for the guys and 5 for the gals, but feel free to mix and match since we actively don’t subscribe to gender constructs — for NYFW.

TRENDSPARK: PS1 for Men

I’ve never understood how men survive without carrying a bag. Everyone has their “stuff” they need with them all the time, even men, so I say embrace the man bag! Harper’s Bazaar accessories editor David Thielebule seems to agree with me, toting the PS1 around like it’s his job (which as an accessories editor, I guess it kind of is…) The PS1 is the perfect man bag due to its roomy and androgynous nature, so boys feel free to carry around your stuff like the rest of us.
