The Hero Survey Study up.

You might learn something What’s one item every man should have in his wardrobe? A great biker jacket. What’s one trend you are tired of? Anything minimal. Where do you turn when you need to be inspired? I’m very inspired by New York City. Its energy and the way people put their look together. There is a lot of self-expression and celebration of individuality, but at the same time people get dressed fast so fashion has to function and make people’s lives better. I like that. I think it’s very Coach. What designer do you most admire? Junya Watanabe. If you weren’t a designer, what would you be? A singer. In what era do you think men dressed best? Today! In what era do you think men dressed worst? I think there’s always something I find interesting from each era. Who, living or dead, would you most like to dress? Debbie Harry. What do you do when you have a night off? I love walking the High Line home and ending the night in one of my favourite West Village restaurants with a glass of red wine. What’s the next big trend in menswear?

The reason we are generally focusing on casual pieces isn’t only that it feels right for Coach, but because, from my perspective, it is where the world is moving. I think there has been a cultural shift, particularly in the last decade. I just get the sense that there are fewer jobs each year that require us to adopt tailoring and formality. The wardrobe of the workspace continues to change dramatically, and I think style from other cultures is having an impact globally as well.
