Parkchoonmoo RTW Spring 2015
Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week: Parkchoonmoo Spring 2015
Set to rhythmic electronic beats, Parkchoonmoo introduced the MBFW Pavilion crowd to a stunning Spring/Summer 2015 collection. In an elegant statement, the collection was largely monochromatic and neutral with many looks showcased in black and white with the occasional blocked print or brown accent. Many of the season’s recurring themes (leather, sheer overlay, draping silhouettes) were present in this collection as well but executed with an understated refinement that helped make the collection feel extremely cohesive instead of one that was chasing after trend. All of the looks were paired with modern variations of an open-toed espadrille. Parkchoonmoo’s vision of SS15 is one that’s simultaneously chic and forward thinking.

Proper Cloth Presentation Fall/Winter 2014
New York Fashion Week: Proper Cloth Presentation
Hosted by sponsors Esquire Magazine and Rogaine, menswear brand Proper Cloth went against the SS15 fashion week grain to showcase its FW14 looks. Once a specialty brand purely focused on custom-made men’s shirting, the dapper brand is now moving into a full menswear line. The event took place in a Tribeca venue specially dubbed The Esquire for this special fashion week gathering. With complimentary cocktails and hearty hors d’oeuvres on hand, the afternoon felt more like a swanky reception than just a simple fashion show. Throughout the show, the brand showcased sleek tailoring, classic masculine looks, and effortless layering. Designer Seph Skerritt was on hand after the show for a brief Q&A in which he expressed gratitude for the support from those in attendance and described the essence of Proper Cloth. The looks and materials are soft, unstructured, and comfortable creating a timeless look. Every detail of the clothing has been thoughtfully planned including the use of fabrics and unlined jackets. Rogaine “brand celebrity grooming expert” Diana Schmidtke was also on hand to discuss next season’s grooming trends and the inspiration for the “everyman” hair styles featured in the show. For the dapper man, Proper Cloth could become his new go-to.
