Designer Jack Sivan showed for the first time at NYMW. He is a designer who focuses on delivering men’s suiting that is both sustainable and inspired by Saville Row and Neapolitan tailoring traditions. Like Ralph Lauren, this RISDI graduate started his fashion career with a bow tie collection; he however was only in high school at the time. Years later, he now holds a degree in Apparel Design and a minor in Sustainability Studies. Not surprisingly, what he showed for fall 2025 featured sharp tailoring. Add to that, a focus on sustainability that featured prominently in his choice of fabrics. Better still, he offers inclusive sizing and is working to bring in his suiting “at prices that won’t break the bank”.
There were jackets and trousers in Donegal Tweed, nubby cotton corduroy, and pinstripe Shetland Flannel. Mr. Sivan accessorized his suits with Cotton Oxfords in Faded Pink and Slate Blue. The Navy felt jacket had the feel of a comfy sweater, while the Gray Donegal Tweed suit with a horse bit closure was a modern take on a beloved British classic. The designer updated the look by hiking up the trouser length to near flood length with a shrunken silhouette but not to the extreme of Thom Brown’s little boy proportions.
Mr. Sivan ventured into gender neutral territory with this Indigo Blue chalk stripe pinstripe skirt suit cut out of Shetland Flannel. The pocketless jacket could also be worn with the back tab trousers he showed with an Indigo merino wool sweater and oxford. The options for sartorial creativity within this collection allow for both traditional and avant-garde dressing.
