NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PROJECT, America’s leading menswear dedicated tradeshow, will debut four FW’18 collections from luxury designer Michael Bastian Gray Label, functional clothing line W.R.K, sportswear brand M. Singer and eco-friendly West Coast inspired label Faherty.

Tommy Fazio, Men’s Fashion Director of UBM Fashion, selected each brand, which also showcases at PROJECT, to lead the new direction of the trade show format by supporting American talent during New York Fashion Week. This initiative is an evolution of UBM Fashion’s newly formed partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) promoting the growth of emerging talent and the fashion industry as a whole.

“We are thrilled to have the platform outside of the trade show floor in New York to champion menswear talent who represent the best of American designers. Having had the privilege of working with each designer at PROJECT, we are excited to assist in presenting their FW’18 collections by supporting CFDA’s NYFW: Men’s and NYMD,” states Tommy Fazio, Men’s Fashion Director, UBM Fashion.

Inspirations from the brands FW’18 collections include:

Michael Bastian Gray Label draws from The Pacific Northwest
