Day 2 Rap-Up: Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, New York

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York has finally settled down into its new home at the Lincoln Center!

On Day 2 of the great inaugural event, two menswear labels appeared on the runway yesterday, including Duckie Brown and Buckler.

Duckie Brown is a New York-based label that was established by Steven Cox and Daniel Silver in 2001. For spring/summer 2011, the key word is “unique.”

The designer duo fashioned a collection in which each item becomes a stand-alone garment, almost as if belonging to a separate collection altogether.

Launched by Andrew Buckler in 2001, this label magnificently encapsulates the “English Bloke”meeting the New Yorker!

By way of definition, Buckler describes itself as a “roguish American line with a British edge.”

For spring/summer 2011, Buckler takes us back in time to the Olympic Games of the 1920s and ‘30s, adding a slight touch of Bauhaus.
