Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and Buckler

Andrew Buckler’s Fashion Show during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was on September 10, 2010, from 1:30pm to 2:30pm at the Box in Lincoln Center in New York City.

Although Andrew Buckler comes from a family of architects, the sculpture and engineering of clothing have always inspired and fascinated him. After working as an assistant to a luxury clothing designer in London, he studied at The Royal College of Art and received an Master of Arts in fashion design, immediately following he began his career with a prestigious education and a heap of passion.

Before Andrew became a master of menswear, he designed womens ready to wear at a French designer label. It wasnt until his stint designing menswear with a contemporary American brand that a knack and fondness for the category was revealed. Focusing on his unique design aesthetic the Buckler label was launched in 2001 and has since grown into a full-fledged lifestyle brand offering made-to-measure suiting, denim, knits, accessories and mens furnishings. Bucklers innovative style caught the attention of the CFDA and Andrew was named a member in 2008.

Aside from brick-and-mortar locations in London, Toronto and New York, Buckler is sold in major department stores including Nordstrom, Harvey Nichols as well as specialty stores throughout the United States, Europe and Canada. A media favorite, Buckler has been featured in top tier media outlets such as Women’s Wear Daily, GQ, and Blackbook and Nylon Guys.

Andrew currently lives and works in New York. He remains very hands-on with all aspects of design. Ultimately, Buckler executes his vision; a brand for blokes.
