Liberty Fairs And Capsule’s New York Men’s Shows Were All About A Low Key Flex

Check out some of our images from Liberty Fairs and Capsule’s menswear show held at Pier 94 in Manhattan last week. Brands were showing looks for fall 2017, which revealed a very low key color story with lots of black, navy and grey. And while the retro sport theme remains an important one in terms of crew neck sweatshirts and coaches jackets, the steady progression away from joggers as a bottoms story continues with denim and dark-colored twill bottoms (and a bit of khaki) taking their place.

Overall, the look was all about a low key flex, taking a tone on tone dark color story and adding a bit of quiet flash through an unexpected added embellishment or graphic print story and anchoring the look with a cool pair of kicks.

Perhaps it’s a look that’s fitting given the chaos swirling under new leadership; one that is good for hunkering down and conserving one’s energy for the long haul.

Images are captioned with the brand labels as appropriate. We labeled the brands people were wearing when we recognized them.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."

Atlanta-based Pluto and YK Niece released Whim Wha Atlanta-based Pluto and YK Niece released Whim Whamiee single a few weeks ago, and the track is now trending on TikTok as the "Lululemon Song". 

Rapper JT shared that she's hooked on the song, especially the "Lulu" verse.

To witness an athletic apparel brand being name-dropped in hip-hop by emerging women rappers highlights how much women love their fitness/athleisure wear but also the fact that there is a flex that comes with wearing Lululemon in certain circles.

 Male rappers Jbeezy.Lfg and Lil Scoom89
respectively dropped singles titled Lululemon last year referencing women wearing the brand. 

Whim Whamiee by is now streaming on all DSPs.
