The New York Fashion Week kicked off on Sep 06, 2024 with five menswear designers showcasing their collections, inspired by varied sources such as Zanzibar’s beaches, the 1970s, and personal dreams.
Among these was the debut collection of the Minnesota-based brand Earthling. Titled ‘Doves Cry,’ the collection majorly featured leather and denim. The collection’s designs were shaped by the 1970s and the brand's hometown icon, musician Prince.
Designer Aaron Potts showcased a collection inspired by the natural beauty of Zanzibar’s beaches. The brand also incorporated iridescent organza fabrics to symbolize the shimmering fish found in the waters.
Taking a more introspective approach, designer Clara Son presented a collection that indicated the transformation of her negative emotions into artful fashion.
Other highlights of the fashion week included the debut of a nautical-themed menswear range from the brand, The Salting.
To run till Sep 11, 2024, New York Fashion Week is set to feature approximately 60 designers on the official calendar.
