Blacks Attends Spring ’09 Menswear Shows

Project ShowMenswear buyers flocked to New York for Project and The Collective earlier this month. We were there too and here’s what we saw: saturated colors, a resurgence in shorts, and lots of new spring jackets. Outerwear is overtaking the soft jacket trend of the last several seasons.

It’s unlikely that stores will be as bright as the shows, but we do expect a more colorful spring next year.

Overall, retailers came away excited about the new merchandise, even though prices on European goods continue to rise.
