Mens Spring 2010 NYC Market Week: Capsule

Capsule took place on July 20th and 21st at the Angel Orensanz Center in New York City. Capsule is an invitation only trade event that showcases over 100 high end contemporary brands from around the world. Consisting mainly of menswear, some of the designers also brought part of their womenswear lines as well.

The setting was edgy and complimented the collections as the multi level church housed designers throughout and in balconies overlooking the main floor. The brand Camper had partnered with designers such as Bernhard Willhelm, Jaime Hayon, Hella Jonenus and Veronique Branquinho to produce a fashion forward collection of footwear; that I am sure retailers will be snapping up.

Cole, Rood & Haan Co. (image) had the most amazing handmade shoes crafted of leather and military tent canvas. Hixsept showcased color blocked scarves that will accent a button up or t-shirt great. Timo Weiland took the bow tie to the next level by creating an exaggerated version that appeared to be more of a fusion between a necklace, bow and scarf. The well-edited collections of apparel, footwear and jewelry made this tradeshow one of the best I have been to.
