While there were rumors of an A-list attendance including Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig, Mariah Carey and Tom Brady at Duckie Brown this afternoon, the reality was closer to that of an offsite show (and not of the Marc Jacobs variety). 

Despite the empty promises though, there was no fault to be placed on Duckie Brown, who produced an absolutely stellar collection, different from everything else we’ve seen in menswear this season. 

With a palette of almost exclusively black, the collection had a feel that went beyond modern as to be propelled into an entirely new category of innovation and newness.  There was a contrast between the stretch body suits that were part of every look and the often boxy, geometrical construction of the outer-garments.

There was often a hybrid combination of athletic wear like nylon hoods peeking out of a jacket that contributed a post-modern utilitarian effect that transcended current trends to create an entirely new genre of its own.
