Highlights from the John Bartlett Fall '07 Collection

New York Fashion Week for the Fall 2007 collections and all of its associated mayhem will be going on through February 9th in New York's Bryant Park. Menswear designer John Bartlett kicked the week off with an inspriing collection. Get a sneak preview here.

I have always admired John Bartlett's vision. He has the ability to mix concepts that could possibly be perceived as oxymoronic. His Fall 2007 collection was no different. His clothes are always quite masculine which I love, and this season he paired ivy league and military influences. The predominant color scheme was creme and tan (or desert hues) as well and black and grey. The coats and suits are slim and well tailored and the knits have a nice weight. Overall the pieces are classic.
