Défilé BraveGentleman à la NYFW
New York Fashion Week – Joshua Katcher, fondateur de Brave GentleMan, a présenté la collection automne 2019 de la marque, composée de costumes de luxe sur mesure et d’accessoires fabriqués à partir de matériaux durables et respectueux des végétaliens. La soirée était animée par l’acteur Alan Cumming, qui est arrivé vêtu du prochain costume en bambou chambray bordeaux de Brave GentleMan, à carreaux bleu clair en forme de fenêtre, et d’une paire de The Weekend Sneaker, une basket habillée minimaliste de couleur fauve qui mettait en valeur le confort du costume.
Il s’agit de la première collection de costumes de luxe végétaliens fabriqués à partir d’un tissu de bambou moulu en Italie, dont la texture est somptueuse et douce au toucher. Fabriquée à New York dans les locaux du Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator, axé sur le développement durable et la technologie, la collection de M. Katcher est un hommage aux costumes classiques, avec des vêtements couvrant les couleurs traditionnelles : marine foncé, brun riche, bleu audacieux, noir et gris anthracite. Les costumes trois pièces avec des pantalons fins et des vestes à deux boutons et à patte d’oie étaient accompagnés de gilets et de cravates assortis. Un smoking décontracté à col châle en satin de polyester recyclé, une veste de style bombardier habillée et un blazer inspiré d’une veste de motard avec des pantalons plissés avec goût et aux jambes plus larges ont apporté une touche de fraîcheur au costume.
La présentation, qui s’est tenue à l’hôtel Mercer de Soho, était une affaire intime pour les sens, avec de la musique en direct du groupe méditatif baroque-pop Eüsh et de l’hypnotique auteur-compositeur-interprète Anni Rossi, des macarons français végétaliens de Sweet Maresa dans des éclats discrets de couleurs masculines, et du vin et des bulles de Whitecliff Vineyards à New Paltz, dans l’État de New York.
Les costumes, chaussures et accessoires durables et végétaliens sont actuellement disponibles sur bravegentleman.com.
