American Fashion Menswear: Booked!

American Fashion Menswear: Booked!

  • We turned a new page on Tuesday evening. Gilt Man and the Council of Fashion Designers of America came together to celebrate the publication of American Fashion Menswear (Assouline) at the Ace Hotel. CFDA’s president Diane von Furstenberg, designers Erin Fetherston, Phillip Lim, Richard Chai, John Bartlett, Blake Mycoskie, Sam Shipley, Jeff Halmos, Andrew Buckler and the book’s editor, Robert Bryan were there along with our own Gilt Man team.

  • The Ace Hotel’s lobby, furnished in regency-inspired velvet banquettes, vintage leather and flea market antiques, proved a masculine and cinematic setting where images from the book were projected onto a giant screen. Tunes from legendary American artists blasted from the DJ set high above the crowd. Guests sipped cocktails and sponsored drinks by Red Bull while feasting on hors d’oeuvres. The curvilinear double showcase stairway was filled with models dressed in American menswear designer looks styled by Gilt Man while Robert Bryan sat in the center of the room signing copies.
