Simon Miller Menswear Autumn 2016

There has been a big change at the denim and ready-to-wear label : Cofounder Jake Sargent is out. Daniel Corrigan, who launched the company with Sargent in 2008, is now joined by Chelsea Hansford as co–creative director. (She had previously been brand director.) Already, the switch-up is proving consonant: Simon Miller’s Fall menswear collection is strong, and arguably more coherent than previous efforts, thanks to a consistency in tone and a focused palette. One left the presentation today feeling warm and zen—much like the brand’s technically advanced yet supremely casual textiles—and not just because of the weird, springlike weather New York City is experiencing.
