FASHION - Gen Art's Fresh Faces

This week Gen Art’s 15th Anniversary Fresh Faces New York show was hosted by new Gossip Girl, Joanna Garcia. It featured collections, from six womenswear designers including Cloak & Dagger, Duskin, Linus, Min Young Lee, Vicente Villarin and Yeojin Bae, and one menswear designer, S2VS. I've included the menswear pics above showing relaxed garments with a preppy, nautical theme. S2VS was formed in May of 2007 in New York and the spring-summer 2010 collection will be their 5th season.

For 15 years, Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion, its anchor event, has been the largest and most recognized program, showcasing emerging designers in the United States. Fresh Faces has launched the careers of noted fashion designers, including Zac Posen, Rebecca Taylor, Phillip Lim, Chaiken, Dagmar, and many more.

S2VS have varied inspirations for their collection. "We handpick and develop new fabrics each season that are unique, comfortable and natural... This season, we took elements from John F Kennedy’s sailing styles in the late 60’s and combined it with the Ivy League prep style from the same era. We focused on looks that were casual but incredibly clean-cut and dressy. "
