Patrik Ervell ist ein äußerst präziser Designer, der sich die Auszeichnung von Herrenmoderedakteuren auf der ganzen Welt verdient hat. Ervell hat seinen Sitz in New York City im Jahr 2005 auf den Markt gebracht und den Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award sowie Nominierungen für den Swarovski Award der CFDA, den CFDA/_Vogue_Fashion Fund und den besten neuen Herrenmode-_Designer von_GQ in Amerika gewonnen. Die Auszeichnungen sind leicht verständlich: Ervell präsentiert Wearable-Kollektionen mit einer sorgfältig strukturierten Perspektive – gut designte, elegante Kleidung. Er sprach mit nycgo.com über seine maritime Atmosphäre, wo er in der Stadt einkaufen sollte und was ihn an New York inspiriert.

In seasons past you've referenced a California mind-set and the planet Endor, as well as uniforms and uniformity. What inspired you this season?
Patrik Ervell:
I was thinking about the aesthetic of sailing, but the way sailing looks now—extremely technical, bonded fabrics, joined seams, sailcloth, white nylon and such.
You've introduced womenswear to your collections relatively recently. Do you prefer one over the other?
PE:
Menswear is definitely my home. The women's collection is still pretty firmly rooted in a menswear point of view.
What brought you to show during Made Fashion Week?
PE:
I love working with Made. They have an amazing setup and they make doing a show as stress-free as possible.
You're based in New York City. What qualities do you find inspiring about NYC?
PE:
The amazing mix, the crashing together of high and low. There is no other city that does that as well as New York.
Do you have any recommendations for any of the City's shops?
PE:
Stop by Opening Ceremony, at 35 Howard St., to take a look at the collection. Then have a bite to eat at
, just across the street.
