The North Face jacket redefined

The star of the show is, undoubtedly, The North Face jacket. This collaboration pushes the boundaries of what we expect from winter outerwear. The suede material not only adds a touch of luxury but also elevates the jackets to a new level of sophistication. The jackets come in two distinct models, each boasting its own unique charm.

At the forefront of the collection is the 600-Fill Down Parka, which showcases an upscale suede outer layer, incorporating quilted baffles. Additionally, it boasts a fixed hood adorned with faux fur trim for added flair.

A fusion of rugged and refined, this parka is a testament to the synergy between Supreme’s streetwear aesthetics and The North Face’s commitment to durability. The material in this suede jacket is not only a style statement but also provides warmth and protection against the elements. Featuring a quilted interior, the jacket ensures optimal insulation without compromising on comfort. The attention to detail is impeccable, with Supreme’s iconic logo tastefully integrated into the design.

For those who prefer a more contemporary silhouette, the suede Nuptse jacket is a standout choice. The puffer design adds a modern twist to the classic suede look, creating a piece that seamlessly transitions from the city streets to the snowy slopes.
This jacket doesn’t just make a statement; it tells a story. The collaboration’s history is woven into every stitch, creating a garment that resonates with authenticity.

The Nuptse jacket undoubtedly steals the spotlight. A perennial winter favorite for The North Face, it has garnered widespread acclaim, counting approval from notables like Harry Styles. This version boasts 700-fill down insulation within quilted baffles, enveloped in a lavish abundance of suede. The tactile luxury of suede is accentuated throughout, creating a sumptuous visual and tactile experience. Adding the finishing touch, the right sleeve proudly features the iconic co-branding of Supreme x The North Face, an enduring signature detail that defines the collab.

Unveiling the supreme touch

Supreme, known for its limited-edition drops and iconic red box logo, brings its signature flair to the men’s parkas in this North Face collaboration. The jackets are not just outerwear; they’re a symbol of a cultural phenomenon. The integration of Supreme’s branding is subtle yet unmistakable, marking these pieces as collector’s items for streetwear enthusiasts.

Suede, often associated with luxury, takes center stage in this collaboration, which features not only jackets but 27 other items, including snow pants, duffle bags, gloves, and a keychain; it’s a material that transcends trends, offering a timeless appeal that goes beyond seasonal fashion. The jackets are crafted with precision, ensuring that the suede not only looks but also feels premium.

Provocatively practical

While the collaboration exudes a certain edginess, it doesn’t compromise on practicality. The men’s puffer jackets and parkas are designed to withstand the harsh winter conditions, making them more than just fashion statements. Supreme and The North Face have created a fusion that marries style and substance, appealing to fashion-forward individuals who refuse to compromise on either.

The Supreme x The North Face suede parka collection is a celebration of style, craftsmanship, and collaboration. As winter approaches, these jackets offer more than just warmth; they provide a visual feast for fashion enthusiasts. Whether you opt for the rugged parka or the contemporary puffer jacket, one thing is certain – you’ll be turning heads wherever you go.

John Varvatos writes a love letter to New York with FW25
"A Love Letter" celebrates 25 years of John Varvatos
John Varvatos F25

Twenty-five years ago, one of the top talents in the fashion industry took his talents from the likes of Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein and moved into his own space by launching his namesake brand, John Varvatos. He debuted his menswear brand in 2000 in New York Fashion Week and grew it over the following decade by adding belts, handbags, footwear, eyewear, watches, and fragrances. He grew his name further by launching a satellite radio station focused on playing songs from bands and musicians who inspired his work heavily influenced by rock & roll. This year, the brand celebrates its silver anniversary with John Varvatos FW25, "A Love Letter." While the brand is a global staple, it has deep ties to The Big Apple and this year sees a love letter to New York City.
A focus on timelessness style

Getting a sneak peek at what fans of the brand can look forward to gives us a look at everything from suiting to outerwear. Suits of the single-breasted nature in tan, black, gray, and burgundy provide you with everything you could need for any office or evening event. Double-breasted suits in blue and brown deepen the collection's suiting options for the man looking for more than the run-of-the-mill option. Outerwear is another focus, with long winter coats in black and charcoal wool and a long fur coat option for the more attention-loving man. A handful of leather options from casual to elevated give the man trying to stay warm a ton of ways to be the talk of the event no matter where he is headed.

Walking through New York Fashion Week presentations and showrooms, you start to get a feel of what most brands and designers are used to working with. There are hot buzzwords. Inspiration and creativity seem to be center stage in most runway shows and showrooms. However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry. When I sat down with him after his show, I asked how he brought culture to his work.

New York Men’s Day debut: HOLD NYC goes alpine sexy in new collection
comfort glamour elevated for the lodge
HOLD NYC Hero

Finding the perfect Apres ski look is a task that every mountain sports nut has figured out. The move from the mountain to the lodge takes you from extreme sport to casual relaxation and maybe a little luxury. While you will mostly find the skiers and snowboarders dropping off their gear and shedding the layers in place of their flannels, jackets, and technical function style, there is an opportunity for some elevation that HOLD NYC is looking to capitalize on in 2025. The HOLD NYC NYMD debut brings an element of crossover between functional luxury and the element of glamour for their first run at New York Men's Day.
Bringing glamour to the mountain

The mountain lodge may not be the first place you think of when you think of glamour. While the lodge is the place for the perfect Apres ski looks that scream comfort and relaxation, there is a bit of etiquette and thought that goes into it. Glamour is the same, and therefore, there is a connection between the two that is perfect for someone like Holden Akerley, designer of HOLD NYC, to find the pathway between the two. He does that at New York Men's Day with the use of casual elements built into more elevated styles. From suiting using shorts to skirts with fleece tops, there is something for everyone in this collection that is classified as genderless. You shouldn't expect anything less than bold excellence from a former designer for Ralph Lauren, and Holden delivered that at New York Fashion Week.
