Young menswear labels you’d want to watch-out

Every year, new designers are venturing out of the nest of big designer labels to try their wings and fly on their own; and with the increasing dedication to men’s fashion, it is not surprising to find young labels on menswear proliferating in the industry.

With different backgrounds and different visions, here are the best of the crop of couturiers that might be the next big thing in the field of fashion.

Cadet

The young label cadet was founded in 2011 with Raul Arevalo and Brad Schmidt behind the Brooklyn-based brand. Both established with a corporate job, the team up between Arevalo and Schmidt is not about fashion at first.

From the original idea of a bakery and a restaurant, the two came up with making their own brand with the help of Arevalo’s background in fashion. The idea is to make work wears of the same style, which will both look good on any size. And thus, the Cadet is born.

It is a military-inspired menswear with classic yet innovative touches run under a vertical business model to ensure quality at its finest.

David Hart

David Hart is a born designer. At an early age, he was already surrounded by fabrics, needles and threads and at seventeen, he moved to the New York as a recipient of Fashion Group International Scholarship Award. From there, he built up his dreams step by step.

He worked with the industry’s hotshot (e.g. Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger) before he founded his own line in 2009 named David Hart and Co. Until the year 2013, he’s ready to debut his ready-to-wear menswear collection.

Today, David Hart is known for creating pieces that will transform one into a modern gentleman. Grounded with the roots yet keeping up with the changing tides of fashion, David Hart and his bold vision may be the one to lead it next.

Thaddeus O’Neil

Thaddeus O’Neil is a creation of many things in one package. A poet, philosopher, surfer, designer and a dad, O’Neil is a man who is never confined.

His sartorial taste prevents him from seeking out the suits and ties; thus he went into designing beach-bum-inspired menswear.

With O’Neil’s belief on neutrality between genders, his pieces are wearable arts for men that women would love to trade, too.
