new york MENS fashion week?


DKNY Mens NYFW 2013

Each fashion capital has a men’s week dedicated to fashion; except for New York! With this week being New York Fashion Week, it poses the question as to when the men of New York will be able to join in and participate in their own fashion week. The CFDA is now in talks of bringing this idea to fruition. Even though some designers do in fact include menswear in their womenswear shows and vice versa, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to do this considering the editors and buyers at those shows are more focused on the particular gender they came to see (fashionista.com).

Men these days seem overall more involved in their personal appearance, especially fashion wise. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a men’s fashion week in New York sometime soon. The CFDA has been meeting with menswear editors and PR firms recently to try and make this a reality (fashionista.com). Already there have been a few men’s shows during this NYFW (N. Hoolywood, Duckie Brown, Todd Snyder, and DKNY), but it would make more sense logistically speaking to have their own segregated week. With huge magazines such as GQ and Details, covering men’s fashions exclusively, I’m sure they will be a huge push towards making this happen.
