 Gentlemen
get a head start on planning your spring
2011 wardrobe with exciting menswear
shown by Nautica, Buckler, and Vassilios Kostetsos during Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Week at its new home at Lincoln
Center in New York.
Classic, preppy, clean looks
are the hallmark of New York
based Nautica , founded in 1983, and the Collection for "Spring 2011 is inspired
by the spirit of the water, the people and the architecture of the American
Southern Coast. From the active lifestyle of the Florida Keys to the casual elegance,
that is part of the tradition and charm of New Orleans, life on the southern coast is
vibrant. From the beaches, to the gulf, to the bayous and wetlands that
surround the big cities and small towns of the south, comes a soulful and
colorful heritage and a deep connection to the water. The sun is always warm.
Dress, like the lifestyle, is easy and authentic. The traveler and the local
blend seamlessly into the landscape, finding inspiration in everyday
adventures. Life on the southern coast is truly a life well-lived."
