NEW YORK -- Michael Bastian sent a sharp-looking men’s spring-summer 2013 menswear collection down the runway at Milk Studios here on Sept. 9 during New York Fashion Week.
The inspiration: Michael Bastian’s luxe but relaxed wares have always given men a sartorial edge, and this collection more than usual, thanks to a razor-blade motif that could be spotted in intarsia sweaters shirts and Stubbs & Wootton slippers, but overall, while most of the American menswear collections have boarded the preppy train, for spring Bastian (himself no slouch in the preppy-inspired apparel department) has gone in a more workwear-flavored direction.
