RUNWAY: Joseph Abboud FW12

After seven years away from the fashion calendar, the 45 year old fashion brand emerged like a phoenix from burning flames today during New York Fashion Week. Joseph Abboud's Creative Director Bernardo Rojo made his runway debut for the brand and was deeply inspired by 1930s fashion and the foundation that decade had on the present. Rich fabrics and rich patterns were seen on the cobbled runway and was perfectly attuned to a Boardwalk Empire aesthetic but with a slimmer silhouette. It was a sublimely sophisticated collection from one of the most recognizable menswear brands showing during this New York Fashion Week. We hope Rojo and Abboud will continue to show during fashion week and not take another seven year hiatus.
