Is Robert Burke the Most influential Man in American Menswear?
As Fashion Director of Bergdorf Goodman Robert Burke has reestablished the Bergdorf Men's Store as the most exciting, unique and directional men's store in America.I mean really, it takes a special store to make Hickey Freeman cool again!!
Bergdorf has also become a leading champion of young menswear designers like Thom Browne and Adam Kimmel.
Most importantly Mr. Burke has created a "Bergdorf Look". By combining by such diverse labels as Woolrich, Brunello Cucinelli, Etro, and Hickey .often in one look, Bergdorf makes a clear statement on what they believe are the most important items of the season. By reaching across such a wide product range Bergdorf heads the "wish list" of many of today's top brands and labels.
Don't even get me started on the Bergdorf Goodman Magazine. The editorialish story Free Association shot by Tim Walker is my favorite fashion story this season and it is a catalog!!
