It’s
the black suit, the starting point of the creation of the Duckie Brown’s new
collection. From a clean and basic sketch, Daniel Silver and Steven Cox
reconstructed the world of the brand by getting back to male wardrobe basics. Six
looks in six different male fabrics that spin around oversized double-breasted
jackets, white shirt transformed into outerwear pieces and loose-fit pants.
White,
black, grey and navy blue are the shades that colour the wool, woollen cloth
and cotton fabrics; while the only accessories adopted in the collection are
the sneaker shoes.
«Founded in 2001 by creative life-partners Steven Cox and Daniel Silver,
Duckie Brown has consciously and successfully sought to establish and
re-establish itself year upon year; the only concrete facet of the brand lies
in its consistent ability to question the very fabric of the world of fashion. For
their FW16 contribution, Cox and Silver graced New York with a reduction and
refinement of runway staples. Fleshing out what began as one sketch of a black
suit, the designers displayed six essential looks, minimal in palette.
Commenting on the decision to diverge from the regularity of more extensive
runway collections, Cox stated; “[it] is to show people that we are small.”
With the brand having recently distilled the design team down to consist of
only Cox and Silver, this seems a fair sentiment. The collection comprised of
the conventional design choices, shaped with Duckie Brown nuance. An optic white refashioning of the
dress shirt came disguised as a sports jacket, paired with charcoal trousers in
generous cut. A wide-fitting blazer followed, sat just beneath the hips,
contrasted by a slimmer silhouette in the leg, whilst the next model exhibited
a peacoat in midnight with thick collars, worn over a shirt in a high-collar,
partially covering the chin and cheeks. The designers upheld the continuity of
elegant formalwear with a straight-cut overcoat featuring slouched sleeves,
cropped just ahead of the wrist. Cox and Silver’s small, serene show drew its
curtains to a close with a dressier take on the utility jacket – a polar-white
hooded shirt featuring subtle workwear detailing.».

83-piece collection, during New York Fashion Week Men’s, Duckie Brown send six
looks to the runway. «Donna Karan
built an empire with the idea of six easy pieces. Duckie Brown's highly edited
FW16 collection took that notion and made six easy looks. The duo has been
fighting rumors that the label is on the verge of closure and with a collection
of six looks, this did not squash those rumors. However, if this is a turning
point for the label, it's a strong position: make less filler clothes that are
mediocre and make what you're best at.».
I am a 14 year old male, and I'm in the market for a nice pea coat. I've noticed on sites that the price between men and women's coats are wildly different, The men's is almost twice the price! I was wondering, how noticeable would it be if i got a womens pea coat and saved $70? Would people at school be able to notice that it is a feminine item? or would it simply go unnoticed? fur coats for sale
