Cadillac Unveils New Capsule Collection Curated By Nick Wooster

Summer is living its last weeks, and since our society is based on the principle that time is money, most of the companies out there are already thinking at the next season. Although they are not as active in the fashion sector like other competitors, Cadillac does some lifestyle ventures now and then.

Similar to what most of the automakers do these days, Cadillac is also trying to get their slice of the pie, namely a place in the clothing word. The company launched yesterday a specially curated capsule collection, expressed in 15 looks, chosen and styled by fashion icon Nick Wooster.

The new assortment is made of pieces from the Fall/Winter 2015 collections of today’s most influential emerging designers, many of whom showcase their work annually at New York Men’s Day (NYMD), which the brand has sponsored since its inception. Since the clothes will not be available anytime earlier than September 9, we figured we could take a sneak look first.

According to the automaker, the materials range in price from $59 to $2,000, which means some of the issues will be affordable. All of Wooster’s 15 looks will debut at a kick-off VIP shopping event in New York City on September 1. “We look forward to bringing the groundbreaking designs of the designers of New York Men’s Day to a greater audience in partnership with Nick Wooster and Gilt,” said Melody Lee, director of Cadillac Brand Strategy & Planning.

In case you are interested in who else is involved in the creative part of the new collection, you’ll want to know the partnership features a diverse assortment of pieces from Cadet, Carlos Campos, David Hart, Ernest Alexander, Gents, J. Lindeberg, Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, PLAC and Timo Weiland.

As to the man taking care of the whole deal, Nick Wooster is a Kansas-born, New York-based designer whose tenure in the menswear space has spanned over 30 years with stints at Calvin Klein, Barneys New York, Ralph Lauren, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.
