As New York Fashion Week: Men’s (NYFWM) fall 2016 season quickly approaches, fashion editors, in particular, scramble to organize their men’s runway/presentation calendar. But as anyone who has attended any Fashion Week knows, preparation is more than organizing your fashion calendar. All the hustle and bustle and event coordination that leads up to fashion week goes unmerited if you don’t have handy the right essentials to get you through fashion week.
True to form, Fashion Reverie has curated some very essential items that every fashion industry professional needs at their disposal. These handy items can make your fashion week a seamless, relatively calm experience. Remember, New York Fashion Week: The Shows are seven days after NYFWM, so editors and industry professionals need all the help they can get!!
No, Fashion Reverie Editors’ essentials list would be complete without the inclusion of some man bags. For the fall 2015 season Jack Spade has created attractive grey twill Swiss brief ($375) with a flap that will make you look stylish and professional. Rag and Bone also has a smart briefcase in blue canvas and brown leather ($395). However, if your budget is a bit tight, the Gap has a fashion-forward camouflage tote for $69.95.
Although most of the shows rarely start on time it is still important to be punctual. You can be punctual and stylish this season in Grovemade’s Wood Watch. Designed in collaboration with industrial designer Stefan Andren, the Wood Watch features modern, circular hands that move behind the iconic wooden face showcasing the unique grain and beauty of premium American hardwoods; a Japanese Analog Movement with a premium material palette; stainless steel casing and base, and a vegetable-tanned leather strap that gets better with age.
The Grovemade Wood Watch is available in Oregon Claro Walnut with black leather strap or Eastern Hardrock Maple with London tan leather strap and retails for $239. For more information, go to grovemade.com.
Nothing is worse during Fashion Week than dropping your iPhone and breaking the glass screen. No worries, Fashion Reverie to the rescue!!
Dog & Bone’s Wetsuit Impact IPhone 6s/6s Plus Case protects your IPhone from water, the elements and protects the glass screen from breakage. The Dog & Bone Wetsuit Impact case features a high performance screen that protects against smudges and scratches; 9H flexible glass impact screen protection, the world’s highest impact screen standard; a rubber bumper for a second layer of shock protection, grip and style, and waterproof and shock proof up to 6.6 feet.
The Dog & Bone Wetsuit Impact IPhone case 6s and 6s Plus retails for $79 and $89, respectively. For more information, go to dogandbonecases.com.
Unfortunately, NYFW: Men’s fall 2016 collections occur during cold and flu season. And though you may have gotten your flu shot, with all the hustle and bustle and sleep deprivation, you may end up with a nasty cold. Why have a red, dry, flaky nose if you don’t have to.
Boogie Wipes are a specially formulated, moist nose wipe that uses saline to moisturize your skin while dissolving any dried mucus. Boogie Wipes are available in fun scents like Great Grape and Menthol to help open clogged nasal passages.
Available in a 30-count pack for $3.99 and 90-count family-sized canister for $8.99, Boogie Wipes are sold at Walgreens, Target, Walmart, and Costco stores nationwide. For more information, visit boogiewipes.com.
Editors and fashion industry professionals spend more time waiting on line to get into fashion shows/presentation than exactly witnessing the great fashion strutting down the catwalk. (A little secret for the fashion novice, fashion shows actually last about 11 minutes.)
At any rate, why be bored to distraction on the endless lines when you could be listening to you favorite tunes with the House of Marley BT Headphones (69.99). The House of Marley BT Headphones come equipped with Bluetooth 4 to sync with your favorite Bluetooth devices; A2DP stereo audio and powerful 40mm drivers; wireless controls on right ear-cup with integrated microphone; rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 8hrs of continuous play, and luxe padding and a Regrind™ silicone rubber headband made of recycled materials for ultimate comfort and grip.
