Jacket Required

When Nicholas Kunz, a veteran of DKNY, Nautica, and Calvin Klein, and her brother Christopher Kunz set out to start their own label in 2005, they instantly won critics’ attention.

And, why not?

Nicholas (a former F.I.T.er and student of Polimoda School of Design in Florence) had worked with companies all over the world and even helped launch Coach Men’s sportswear.

For her second men’s collection this Spring, Nicholas’s look is elegantly constructed and lived-in, with a nod towards darker colors.

This season’s masterpiece is the Gaspard Bomber. Made of supple goat leather that’s been washed to give it a vintage feel, this perfect jacket exudes an aura of its own. Details such as double-entry cargo pockets and khaki, cotton twill lining add refined touches.

A classic is re-born.
