Key NYMD Takeaways from Manufacturing to Masculinity

New York Fashion Week commenced with the bi-annual showcase of emerging menswear designers at New York Men’s Day (NYMD), now in its 17th season of introducing new talent to the city’s veteran fashion community. One such veteran, Perry Ellis, relaunched its Perry Ellis America label at the show, alongside eight up-and-coming brands that were also competing for a chance to create a capsule collection on behalf of Perry Ellis for a future season. As of publishing, the winner has yet to be announced. The overall event was a vibrant affair with long lines shuffling in and out of the elevators at Canoe Studios, a celebratory morning dance party among vaccinated models and concluding with the evening’s live rendition of “Tarifa” by Brooklyn-based singer, Sharon Van Etten, accompanied by grand piano.
