Spring/Summer 25 Men’s Day during NYFW did not disappoint this year. Featuring some new and familiar designers there was plenty to be inspired by. See what we thought after the jump.
On September 20th, 2024, Philly Fashion Week welcomed back their one and only Avant Garde Ball.
The 6th annual ESSENCE Fashion House brought Black trailblazers, creatives, designers, and fashion enthusiasts together for an unforgettable evening of conversations, showcases, and inspiration.
NYFW is officially in full swing. This twice-a-year fashion extravaganza, held once in September and again now in February, is replete with runway shows and popups throughout the city. Influencers and fashion celebrities alike transform the streets of SoHo into their canvas, strutting down them in the latest designer collections to create content for social media.

It’s not just individuals tuning in to the fashion conversation – stores around the city eagerly capitalize on these opportunities as well. This past Thursday, to celebrate the start of NYFW (and the latest installment of its monthly event series), vintage store What Goes Around Comes Around, known for its luxury resale and custom vintage pieces, hosted an evening pop up in the iconic SoHo neighborhood.

Invited actresses, models, and influencers were treated to sweet and savory treats and fruitful conversations about up and coming collections. Servers clad in all black gracefully offered guests sips of champagne and wines and rotating spreads of canapés. Tucked away in a discreet corner were portrait artists on site, giving guests an opportunity to go home with an inked version of themselves.

11-17-23 For what feels like a lifetime, Timberland has been a staple within the New York music scene. Whether it be the shoe that has defined the city itself or the hand in hand work that the brand has done with countless artists of the past. Regardless of the context of reference, Timberland has played their part.
In recent times, things have not changed as they announced the Timberland STOOP – a mobile pop-up tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop and the Original Timberland® Boot – honoring and giving back the communities that have helped make the brand what it is today.
The event started off with a bang as the Greenpoint Terminal was excited to see hometown girl Lola Brooke hit the stage. Her set did not disappoint as her summer anthem with Bryson Tiller “You” was clearly a favorite of those in attendance.
Following Brooke was Long Island native Roc Marciano who dropped a project last year with legendary producer and artist The Alchemist called “The Elephant Man’s Bones”. Watching Marciano’s set it is abundantly clear that he is well on his way to establishing himself as one of the most consistent artists in the city.
One thing was clear mid-way thru the set list- each artist that was booked was quality and had a strong catalog and fan base to boot.
After Marciano’s set was over, fans had the pleasure of seeing Aminè- an artist out of Portland that has a huge catalog of mixtapes and projects that have made him successful over the years. His set was full of energy and if he was not someone you were familiar with you would at least find yourself vibing because of his hit friendly sound. 
Closing off the event was none other than grammy award winning DJ Kaytranada- well known for his smooth and eclectic sound. If awards are not something that moves you, I assure you that his set would. Just a few songs into the set it was clear that he was a professional in his world of music. Those in attendance could not help but dance as he had the warehouse rocking.
Timberland has been a staple within the music community for generations- and if they continue to celebrate the artists and the community in this fashion it will be no surprise that they keep thriving the way they do.
From a wide range of fashion to energetic performances on the runway, The Model Experience Fashion Week Festival transformed the Los Angeles Convention Center on Sept. 30. Brands like Cough Syrup by Desto Dubbs took the stage, along with performances from Doechii and Kaliii, lighting the stage with an electrifying fusion of music and style.

New York City has been buzzing for a week straight with New York Fashion Week in full throttle. Parties have been covering the city nightly, with fashion shows and presentations layered in each day.

Isaac Likes hosted his Annual I Like You Party with FREE AF beverages at The Georgia Room on September 8th.
On Friday, September 8th, Isaac Likes hosted his annual I LIKE YOU Fashion Week bash presented by Free AF hosted by Ella Priya and Hailey Sani.

Christian Siriano hosted an exclusive dinner at Ambra, the new West Village eatery, following his runway show. The intimate dinner held for designer Christian Siriano took place on September 8th. Guests such as Janet Jackson, Alicia Silverstone, Sarah Hyland, Laverne Cox, Padma Lakshmi, Coco Rocha and many more enjoyed homemade Italian fare by notable chef John DeLucie at the dinner party. Cocktail offerings by Jameson Black Barrel Whiskey (the “Fashionable Old Fashioned”), El Cristiano Tequila (XR Espresso Martini) and rose wine by Sainte Marguerite, plus Peroni Italian Beer, paired perfectly with the delicious pastas, antipasti, fish, veggie and poultry dishes, with special vegan items also served. Following Siriano’s dinner, the group headed to party at The Ned NoMad…more to follow on that bash later! (Photos above by Leandro Justen)
A few days prior to the Siriano dinner, Ambra opened its Greenwich Village doors at the corner of Hudson Street and West 11th to celebrate the news that PAPER magazine was back, and the announcement of new Editor In Chief Justin Moran. The dinner for 50 guests included a who’s who of the downtown influencer and art notable scene, with PAPER legend Mickey Boardman in attendance, Philip Bloch, Nico Tortorella, Miss Madeline, Sergio Farias, Fatima Cuellar, Emilia Silberg, and many more, with music by Valentin Lamar. Guests at the PAPER dinner also sipped on Jameson Black Barrel, Peroni, El Cristiano, Wines by Illyria, and Su Casa Mezcal. (photos above by Matt Weinberger)

On Sunday evening, as the rest of New York underwent a rainstorm, the attendees of an evening NYFW runway show experienced an event similarly tempestuous.
INHERENT‘s mission as a brand extends beyond the calendar dates of New York Fashion Week (NYFW). “We began as a small online store in 2020 and soon grew into a flagship boutique storefront in Colorado Springs, CO, only a year later,” the company’s founder and designer, Taylor Draper, announced ahead of his latest runway presentation. The mogul has openly battled mental health issues, including depression, and aims to utilize his growing enterprises and collections to destigmatize the conversation around seeking therapy and wellness resources.
