Kith Menswear Autumn 2023

A few years ago, a meme emerged when a user on what was known as Twitter posted a funny pic of a cartoon under the caption, “Can’t wait till it gets colder so I can really start dressin.” It struck a nerve likely because, well, it’s true. Cold weather means luxe textures, cozy fabrics, and most importantly, layering—that elite way in which fashion folk show off they’re, well, fashion folk. Nowhere is that more evident than in a Kith winter collection. Take the opening look for example, a cream knit puffer that merges the body of a coach jacket with cable knit. The jacket has a collaged-sort of feel without actually being patchworked, and the myriad textures and silhouettes that went into its construction were unexpectedly experimental, while remaining grounded in the real world. “This isn’t an evolution of anything; this is just a brand new category that we’re designing into because we feel like our knits are evolving rapidly,” Fieg said during an appointment at Kith’s massive Williamsburg headquarters.
