Exclusive Preview: Mark McNairy New Amsterdam Spring 2012

Great news out of Paris for McNairy heads everywhere. The designer will release a full line of apparel under his eponymous label, Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, at the (capsule) trade show, beginning tomorrow. Fans of McNairy’s go-to-hell spins on traditionally inspired, American men’s clothing have been waiting on this announcement for some time and the collection, like his already infamous and revered line of shoes, promises to live up to the hype. The beauty of McNairy’s own collection is the ability to see him unfiltered by the demands of adhering to any specific brand lines and the results are what you’d expect: the updated twists on military and Ivy League basics that have helped to carve his niche as menswear’s resident badass, with the addition of some refreshingly loud color and pattern.
