It was a perfect Monday afternoon, the humidity had finally lifted its heavy hand, and a cool breeze traveling 25 miles per hour tousled our already crazy tangled manes (Mark is currently growing his hair out—young Demis Roussos-inspired, obviously). Our destination: The Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District for the Assembly New York presentation.

Although we are technically a couple of weeks shy of the Autumnal Equinox, we’ve already shooed radiant summer away. Labor Day weekend quietly faded, washed away and New York Fashion Week emerged with a loud, sartorial boom. We’ll be back soon with a light sprinkling of our favorite collections from Spring 2013.
