The men’s shows might be over in London, Paris and Milan, but New York is revving up its attention to menswear this season. On February 5, Cadillac will sponsor the inaugural season of New York Fashion Week Men’s Day (NYMD).

NYMD will showcase six men’s brands, Ernest Alexander, David Hart, Bosideng, Carlos Campos, Bespoken, and Lucio Castro. We are hoping to bring a new lens to the American menswear market,” detailed Erin Hawker, owner of Agentry PR. “By synching emerging talent together and presenting it in a centralized location, we are allowing for maximum access and exposure by the media and retail buying teams. It’s win-win for everyone involved. We are so excited to have Cadillac support this bold move for menswear.”
