Kirk Shannon-Butts, Filmmaker and Fashion Correspondent As the audience tickled in for the Duckie Brown Fall 2008 Collection from designers Steven Cox and Daniel Silver one could barely sit still due to the blasting music. Once editors, stylists, celebrities, buyers and future fashion designers took to their seats and the first model emerged the music was abruptly turned off. This is when the show was turned on taking the audience back to the an haute couture age when models walked in silence and clients focused on the clothes.
| Each season Duckie Brown continues to evolve the label into one of the most exciting contemporary menswear lines. The collection was uniformly dark and the fabrics were luxurious. The collection's quiet classicism - pinstripe, herringbone, shearling, Prince of Wales and windowpane checks was nearly transparent due to the duo's design and color palette. Classic menswear themes were reworked into a modern masculine silhouette with just a hint of military influence.
Cox and Silver's signature short-over-long proportion appeared time and again in a newly restrained version as a nylon parka over a suit. Evening looks were the essence of masculine chic. They included a lace sweater and sweatshirt in a Prince of Wales check made up of Duckie Brown's signature extravagant beading. The union of formal and casual definitely contemporizes and offers new boundaries for the modern men's outfit whether office or lounge. Sending out just 21 well tuned outfits and a wonderful mix of models Cox and Silver allowed the audience to truly enjoy the lux of silence
