More Men’s Shows During Fashion Week

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

As more women’s wear designers are shying away from runway shows next month, early drafts of the fashion week calendar show a handful of men’s wear designers taking the leap from presentation to runway, or dedicating runways solely to their men’s collections for the first time.

Richard Chai, Gilded Age, Antonio Azzuolo and Jurgen Oeltjenbruns are all scheduled to have men’s shows in February. Victor Glemaud is pairing up with Staerk for a single show, and Calvin Klein will also hold its men’s show in New York, taking a break from the past several years in Milan.

NY Fashion Week: Staerk

Edited by Kirby Marzec

There is nothing like a woman decked out in sleek leather and silk to spell sophistication. Inspired by Karen Blixen’s Out of Africa, designer Camilla Staerk infused subtle elements of African culture in her debonair, yet eerie, 2009 collection. Almost as if the straight-leg leather pants had been poured onto the models, their polished look contrasts nicely with Staerk’s light and airy ultrasuede dresses. 

Thanks STYLE!

TrendSpark: Leather in The Summer

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Staerk high waisted leather shorts are perfect for warm weather, yet sexy and very trendy. They are pleating below the waist band for  added fullness and lined in silk for comfort. Def for the punk rocker chick that can’t live without her leather pants.  Get them at Oak NYC.
