MENSWEAR designer Adam Kimmel is taking a year-long sabbatical from fashion, following the shipments of his autumn/winter 2012-13 collection. New York-based Kimmel plans to "use this time to enrich my vision, spend time with my family, and explore a number of creative arenas that have interested me while I’m still young".
"I look forward to utilizing this next year to experiment and learn, and channel what I find into new concepts, designs and projects," he told WWD. "I believe this is how designers become better stewards to their work." The designer set up his label in 2004 and is known for refined, well-tailored aesthetic. His collections are sold internationally, from Colette in Paris to Dover Street Market in London. It’s a busy time for menswear fashion this week, with the London Collections: Men kicking off on Thursday – the capital’s debut dedicated menswear fashion week.
