One part Duckie (playful and risk-taking). One part Brown (practical and proper). All Duckie Brown. With a design philosophy that ⿿menswear can be exciting, colorful and handsome,⿿ it⿿s no wonder the design duo behind label Duckie Brown are being noticed in a big way. Duckie Brown has been nominated for CFDA⿿s Menswear Designer of the Year Award just five years after launching their label. The two other nominees are Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Steven Cox and Daniel Silver comprise the duo behind the Duckie Brown label. Cox is a former designer at Tommy Hilfiger; Silver is a former TV producer. Their unique vision for men⿿s dressing that borders on ⿿street wear and the classic⿿ has a very fashion forward attitude that is aspirational.⿿ Their fans include Jude Law, Adrien Brody, Kevin Bacon, Matt Damon, Green Day, Beck, Ricky Martin, Black Eyed Peas, Rod Stewart, Graham Norton and Ashton Kutcher. Duckie Brown⿿s creations have also been recognised by Victoria & Albert Museum in London (V&A) as part of the museum⿿s ⿿New York Fashion Now⿿ exhibition running from 17 Apr 07- 23 Sept 07. Other designers part of this exhibition include Zac Posen, Thom Browne, Cloak, Proenza Schouler, Derek Lam, Three As Four, Costello Tagliapietra, Behnas Sarafpour and Tess Giberson. Based off this brands amazing success you would think they⿿d be at stores across the nation, but this dynamic duo⿿s goal for steady growth means you can only find this indie fave at about 10-15 shops in the world. Find some Duckie at: Barneys Co-Op, 236 W. 18th St., nr. Eighth Ave.
