New York Men’s Day (NYMD) will be held as part of New York Fashion Men (NYFM) from June 3 to 5, 2019. Aimed at nurturing emerging talent and consolidating top men’s wear designers in one venue, NYMD will feature collections from nine emerging designers for the spring/summer 2020 season. New participating designers include Abysm, Amirok, David Hart, Feign, Ka Wa Key, Tanaka, Timo Weiland, Todd Hessert and Vasilis Loizdes. Returning brands include Descendants of Thieves, Krammer & Stoudt, Lucio Castro, Private Policy and Wood House Army. For the first time NYMD will debut an all stars showcase where previous NYMD alumni will present three looks from their spring/summer 2020 collections.
Each participating fashion brand will present its collection in its own individual studio space designed to highlight the label’s identity and inspiration. Taking place simultaneously over two-hour periods, five designers will present in the morning and four in the late afternoon. The multi-brand format creates ease-of-flow for media and buyers, allowing them to move through studios and spend time with designers as their time allows.
This marks the first season since NYFM shifted its dates from July to June. The reason for moving the dates to June was to provide buyers, stylists, and the media a chance to see the collections before they head to Europe for the fashion weeks.
