Nautica - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2008

Comments | | Print

(NEW YORK) Nautica might have a new talent behind the brand, but the change in the company’s image was subtle, with the Spring 2008 collection as refined as ever. Miriam Lamberth, the company’s new creative director and a fashion veteran, has gracefully carried on Nautica’s tradition of men’s outerwear classics inspired by the water. Über-tanned models in terry robes and trunks, sailing shirts, and seersucker pants emphasized the company’s signature laidback yet luxurious image. The designer dressed up the same privileged, if slightly louche, man in elegant wool suits, cotton dress shirts, and double-breasted blazers which strolled down the runway before a front-row filled with equally cool Nautica men—elegant top menswear editors.
