For months, if not years, certain members of the fashion community have been rallying for a week dedicated to men’s fashion. While Fashion Week has shows from Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger –who all feature menswear– the majority of the big Lincoln Center shows are for women.

Things may soon change as the Council for Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) is proposing a Menswear Fashion Week, as soon as next year.

As reported by WWD:

Fueled by the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s recent acquisition of the Fashion Calendar, which will streamline the scheduling of fashion shows and events in New York, momentum has been building to set up a distinct men’s fashion week in the city to mirror those in London, Milan and Paris. Steven Kolb, chief executive officer of the CFDA, acknowledged that there is much interest and support surrounding the idea.

“We have a lot of boxes we can check off as of now,” he told WWD. “We have enough designers who could be a collective of talent in both emerging and established that would make a strong statement for American designers. The Mayor, New York City and the New York City Economic Development Corp. are very supportive of our work around all the collections. And we have enough venues and locations around the city to hold it.”

While the proposal still seeks funding and momentum from designers, it hasn’t stopped the troop of new talent eager to show their designs.

Fashion circles from new to old and then repeats. Some brands manage to last the test of time, while others go under no matter how hard and dedicated the creative minds behind it were. Those that don’t last, make room for fresh new talent to move in make a lasting mark.

On the next pages are up and coming talents in the men’s fashion world. We hope to see them on the big stage sooner than later.
