NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: CONFERENCE OF BIRDS COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW
Published January 30, 2008 by admin
Conference of Birds, the debut collection by designer/stylist Andrew Holden premiered last week at New York Menswear Fashion Week.
The designer Andrew Holden spoke with Haute Concept after the show, telling us that the name of the collection comes from a Persian poem about a journey of a group of 30 birds. The poem symbolizes a mythical journey of self-knowledge and a master leading his disciples to enlightenment.
For his first collection of about 32 looks, Holden presented modern silhouettes that combined classic British tailoring with enduring American workwear.
Green jackets were cropped, corduroy vests with shawl collars paired with huge scarves as leather trimming and epaulets were added to other pieces. The collection featured a lot of knits in the form of outerwear, hats and one particular hooded grey cable knit garment. Skinny pants were mixed with tailored jackets and plaid shirts were layered with vests as suspenders nonchalantly hung off of other models.
