Do we still need NYFW: Men's?

"NYFW: Men's" has come and gone, although the sparse three days of shows felt more like a series of afternoon conventions rather than anything remotely like a Fashion Week. In 2015, when CFDA started the experiment of a standalone Men's Fashion Week it didn't immediately blow up to rival its sister New York Fashion Week, but there was potential there. There were NYFW: Men's ambassadors, like Dwyane Wade, who brought celebrity gravitas to the event, and designers, like John Varvatos, who would headline the event by closing the week. Presentations from Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger would also be spotlights on the NYFW: Men's calendar.
