Exclusive: A Closer Look at Second/Layer Spring 2017

“Our inspiration has always been our friends, the street, and the culture around surfing and skating,” said Second/Layer co-founder Joshua Willis before New York Fashion Week Men’s. “Growing up in Los Angeles in neighborhoods that were predominately Mexican, we took styling inspiration from the playboys and suavecitos — they’re always put together, hangin’, talking to the ladies.” Together with his longtime friend Anthony Franco, the design duo hailing from Venice Beach, California presented a seductive Spring 2017 collection of impeccably tailored ready-to-wear made with luxury materials. It takes a lot of effort to make garment look and feel truly effortless, and these guys pulled it off. See every detail up close.
