THE ENCHANTED FOREST
“These were the first costumes that I designed,” Tish recalls of the sequence in which we see future Bella as a vampire running with Edward in the woods. “The fantasy was this sort of post-wedding feeling where they were hunting in these light-colored outfits through the dark forest. I didn’t want them in anything practical.” So, she put Robert in some pretty high-end threads: a vest from Loden Dager, a Club Monaco linen shirt, Orme in Portofino khakis and Magnanni shoes (the same ones he wears with the grey suit throughout the movie). – Tish Monaghan, Costume Designer

During New York fashion week, most of the attention invariably goes to the women’s shows. But during the past few seasons, more and more men’s-wear designers have been slowly but surely sliding into the schedule. The guys have established their own mini-fashion week, and their presentations are, in fact, often more exciting than those of their women’s counterparts. In no particular order, these are a few highlights from spring 2010.

For Spring, Loden Dager took the textiles of Peru and Central America as a starting point. If the striped pattern on a loose shirt-and-pants combo or the slow-fade, Joseph Albers-inspired geometric patterns on shorts-and-shirts sets didn’t tell you that, the stacks of woven bracelets adorning the models’ arms may have done the trick. It was an encouraging return to form for the New York-based collective, whose first runway show three seasons ago was dominated by colorful suits in utilitarian fabrics. Last season, that arresting proposition took a backseat to straight-up utility, but this time around utility was trumped by color and pattern. The monochrome pairings may be a tough proposition off the catwalk, but then, reminding oneself that in the real world people wear individual items, not head-to-toe looks, is an essential fashion-week skill. (Having said all that, one suspects the asymmetrical-closure shorts won’t see much daylight off the runway.) The graded prints and quirky wovens looked both interesting and wearable. The same was true for the roomy (but not boxy) tailored pieces, especially a suit coat rendered in a striking red ultralight nylon.

It was never my intention to become the resident menswear dresser at Vogue,but given how often I wear a tailored blazer or button-down shirt, or both, it sort of happened that way. Maybe it’s having short hair that makes me feel incomplete without a stiff collar? Maybe it’s my mother in me (her crisp-shirt-and-colorful-corduroy uniform is perfection)? But when I see pouf-hipped party dresses at Jason Wu and Derek Lam, I know two things for certain: (1) They’re gorgeous, and (2) they’re not for me.

What is on the runways for me right now I find at a much-less-expected locale: the men’s shows. Or, in some cases, on a coed catwalk, where the guys’ clothes complement what the women are wearing. For example, at Rag & Bone: Loved the way that David Neville and Marcus Wainwright paired tuxedo jackets with lux

ury long johns for the ladies, but the Lewis pant that many of the men had on was what I wanted––roll the leg, cinch the waist so that it’s paper-bagge

 Jd a bit, and I’d be set (I’d also, probably, be alone with my look, which makes for great statement-making). Phillip Lim, who launched a men’s line in 2007, did his first presentation for only those clothes last Friday. There I found an option for evening—patchwork cardigan, blush-toned tank, leather karate-style Guru pant—to wear with a Balmain ankle boot, perhaps. And right downstairs from Lim, at Loden Dager, long dropped-crotch cotton shorts to wear with pretty blouses on the weekend couldn’t hit stores too soon for me.

“It’s so cool to see a girl in an oversize cardigan, like she just grabbed her guy’s before running out the door,” says Richard Chai, who showed his men’s collection right after his new Richard Chai LOVE line, which is, essentially, an ode to boyfriend dressing. Chai, I learned in a few fast minutes before showtime, is all for borrowing from the boys. I ask him which piece he thinks I could pull off. “The enzyme-washed parka (above),” he says. “Just wear it big.” When I see it come down the runway looking sharp but relaxed, sleeves rolled, not too tough, I swoon. And the model is pretty cute, too.

The New York Times | Some Vision Correction Needed

“…As if on cue, men’s designers are trying to conceive a new look in pants or shorts, and here are just a few notes from the stronger collections: from Loden Dager, a three-year-old designer collective, there were Thai fishing shorts mixed in with some smart-looking suits in upbeat colors. Robert Geller showed pleated jeans with a high waist, which looked compellingly off, in the vein of President Obama’s denim selections. And the Rag & Bone collection, by David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, had some welcome new styles, one in gray jersey and another in baby-blue denim, which for once looked as if they might actually fit over the calves of the average human male.”

Outside the Loden Dager show, the drizzle is turning into a downpour. But inside, spring is in full bloom. The show starts with a killer turquoise suit, followed by a sheer pale blue sweater/ aqua shorts combo. It’s an attractive one-two punch of power color to kick things off. Next up is a slew of patterned shorts and tops. Big, bold black & yellow or blue striped suits head down the runway, along with shorts in the same thick fabric. Little pockets appear with stripes contrasting in direction, and a Guatemalan vibe seeps in. Friendship  bracelets and belts with hardware designed by the always fun Phillip Crangi help drive the Central American theme home. Raincoats in bright reds and greens remind the audience of the soaked world outside, but with these colors, it’s all about dodging the puddles with a carefree attitude.
