Men's denims take a 'stylish' turn at Capsule New York

At the recently concluded Capsule New York, the men's denim collections showcased two distinct design directions for Spring ’16 lines. Some brands’ focus was on perfecting lightweight raw denim, while others tried out new silhouettes and washes. Designers were more creative and combined slim-cut denims with a dropped crotch. Annex is one brand that offered this silhouette. The brand Mostly Heard Rarely Seen offered the ultimate street wear in its exaggerated version of the style with shorts and jeans with a double-drop crotch. It also had a varied range with a combination of fabrics, hand-painted splatter effects, and patchwork.

 

Some brands looked into avante garde trends and paid attention to fabrics (specifically light-weight denims). Designer Jongsoo Lee of the brand Document, which has an eco-friendly goal, said that he focuses on thin denims to make the items feel more natural. Many brands tried out new wash techniques. Big John’s Sales and Marketing Representative Kiyo Kakemizu mentioned that raw denim’s popularity was dipping since most denim aficionados already had their pairs. Thus, Big John was focused on hand-whiskering effects, and ozone-wash for bleaching and various finishing treatments.

 

James Long too is experimenting with washes, treatments and design details, while keeping a relatively traditional cut and fit to jeans.
