Fall 2014 by Bespoken — “Tailored Vandal”

DSC00261I was very excited to attend another presentation for BESPOKEN, as I attended one last September. BESPOKEN took part in the 2014 NY Menswear Day for NYFW, which was presented/hosted by Agentry PR & Cadillac. There was a lot to look at on this day and BESPOKEN certainly didn’t disappoint!

DSC00256The underlying basis or inspiration for this 2014 collection is “Downtown NY meets the London East End.” Think — late nights, dark alleys, banging on drums, cigarette butts, wheatpasted subways, wandering artists. The title of the collection is “Tailored Vandal.” It’s all a great take on menswear. And menswear for BESPOKEN is crafted from the finest materials & to the highest specifications.

There is a good deal of black & grey, but in various shades and set upon different textiles and fabrics. A few other hues make some appearances though — burgundy/deeper red, navy blue, & hunter/olive green. The colors and hues really do remind me of what I think of with the various inspirations — concrete streets, dark night skies, and more.

With BESPOKEN, there are suits, outerwear, and casual pieces. The suit might be a bit more traditional in a solid grey, or a bit more daring in a grey plaid. The outerwear varies from trenches to leather pieces to even hoodies. To add more to the mix of separates, there are some great knit sweaters and collared shirts.
