Mens Spring 2010 NYC Market Week: Designer Forum

Posted by fashionentrepreneurreport On Monday, July 20, 2009

The Warwick Hotel in Manhattan was home to the Designer Forum New York on July 18th through the 21st.

Over 70 menswear lines focusing on suiting and collared shirts, occupied various rooms throughout the hotel. This tradeshow was appointment driven, however many vendors were more than welcome to speaking with drop in press and buyers.

Sutor Mantellassi (image) had the most exquisite leather bags and luggage in rich cobalt blue and camel, as well as an amazing selection of leather shoes. Smathers & Branson showcased handmade needlepoint belts and accessories. The “soft coats” by Crittenden were elegantly made and were surrounded with buyers. The Custom Tailors and Designers Association held a measuring class, sales seminar and fitting and alterations session to coincide with the tradeshow.
