http://www.coutorture.com/ en http://www.coutorture.com/980076 <p>This week, a creaky wooden building in the Lower East Side hosts the <a href="http://www.capsuleshow.com" target="_blank">Capsule</a> trade show where emerging menswear labels get sized up by New York's hippest retailers. Capsule, like any tradeshow, is charged with the energy of the unknown and the anticipation for what could be. One thing is for sure, the era of the urban gentlemen is in full-effect, where even the downtown hipsters will be dressing like dandies, as soon as <a href="http://www.odinnewyork.com" target="_blank">Odin</a>, <a href="http://www.openingceremony.us" target="_blank">Opening Ceremony</a>, and <a href="http://www.oaknyc.com" target="_blank">Oak</a> get their hands on these lines. (As an aside, we don't think we've ever seen so many handsome men occupy the same space at the same time. It was like a fourth dimension.) This year's show was sponsored by <a href="http://www.wearethemarket.com" target="_blank">We Are The Market</a>, a long-time Coutorture partner.<br /> <br class=clear-both/><br /> After the jump, <a href="http://coutorture.com/980076" target="_blank">our top five favorites at the show</a> and a gallery of the event for your viewing pleasure.<br /> <br class=clear-both/><br /> <p><div style='float:left;line-height:12px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:9px;margin-right:10px'><a href="/gallery/view/980898?page=0,0,0"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/12/129120/04_2008/94690005.large.JPG" alt="" title="" style="border:1px solid #000;padding:0px" class="image large" width="106" height="160" /></a></div ><div style='float:left;line-height:12px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:9px;margin-right:10px'><a href="/gallery/view/980898?page=0,1,0"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/12/129120/04_2008/94690006.large.JPG" alt="" title="" style="border:1px solid #000;padding:0px" class="image large" width="106" height="160" /></a></div ><div style='float:left;line-height:12px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:9px;margin-right:10px'><a href="/gallery/view/980898?page=0,2,0"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/12/129120/04_2008/94700013.large.JPG" alt="" title="" style="border:1px solid #000;padding:0px" class="image large" width="106" height="160" /></a></div ><div style='float:left;line-height:12px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:9px;margin-right:10px'><a href="/gallery/view/980898?page=0,3,0"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/12/129120/04_2008/94690008.large.JPG" alt="" title="" style="border:1px solid #000;padding:0px" class="image large" width="106" height="160" /></a></div ><div style='float:left;line-height:12px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:9px;margin-right:10px'><a href="/gallery/view/980898?page=0,4,0"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/12/129120/04_2008/94700026.large.JPG" alt="" title="" style="border:1px solid #000;padding:0px" class="image large" width="106" height="160" /></a></div ><div style='float:left;line-height:12px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:9px;margin-right:10px'><a href="/gallery/view/980898?page=0,5,0"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/12/129120/04_2008/94700016.large.JPG" alt="" title="" style="border:1px solid #000;padding:0px" class="image large" width="106" height="160" /></a></div ></p><br clear=all></p> <p><a href="http://www.coutorture.com/980076">read more</a></p> http://www.coutorture.com/980076#comment Capsule Corpus Creative Recreation Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair Josh Podoll Panuu story Trade Shows We Are The Market Wed, 23 Jan 2008 12:15:11 -0800 coutorture http://www.coutorture.com/980076
