Designer Todd Snyder has been working behind-the-scenes for quite some time now.. he helped re-define menswear as J.Crew’s men’s director of design in the 2000s. He left in 2008 to start his collection and re-introduced his namesake label in 2011.


When I received the invitation to Snyder’s most recent presentation, I did a double take when I saw the address. I knew of LV Wood as a wood & floor furnishing shop, thanks to my friends in the interior design and home improvement world. It couldn’t have been a mistake so I trekked into Flatiron to check out the fall presentation. When I walked in.. I knew I was in the right place. Location is everything.

You can still see Snyder’s love of quality materials and English tailoring but the collection was balanced by knits and more casual elements.


What do you think about Snyder’s “Americans in Paris” show?
