Last year in an interview with another fashion designer, we discussed how drab fall and winter wear seem to be here in New York. While I do understand that dark colors attract the sun’s ultraviolet rays, hence, warmth (bright colors having the obverse effect), I think that with manufacturing being what it is now, we no longer need to wear dark clothing in the winter. I purchased a gorgeous white winter coat in recent months, and it is the warmest coat I have ever owned. So why can’t we have some color when the temps are cooler? I mean, we wear our shirts and sweaters under our coats where the sun can’t reach, after all.
I don’t know if that thought ever occurred to London-based, gender-fluid label design duo Ka Wa Key (Key Chow and Jarno Leppanen), but they've nevertheless produced a series of gorgeous colorful outfits for fall/winter 2020 season. Their New York Fashion Week presentation for New York Men’s Day (February 3) was entitled “The Twink Prince”, and was inspired by “The Little Prince”, a novella by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (one of my favorite tales as a child).
Behold and be amazed at the glorious colors and designs of Ka Wa Key.
