HARDEMAN at New York Fashion Week FW18

Sun, Feb 11 - Sun, Feb 11  2018

On Sunday, February 11, 2018, Sophie Hardeman showed the HARDEMAN FW18 collection in New York during New York Fashion Week. Read this interview from our DutchCultureUSA archive with the designer.

While denim has become mainstream, Hardeman’s FW18 collection continues pushing it forward, inspired by combining a luxury feel to street apparel. This fall, Hardeman takes yet another leap into classic American denim history, a sporty take on their iconic denim collection by re-approaching the traditional polo shirt and its wearer. 

Hardeman FW18 is sporty on the slope and preppy’ in the streets. Warm up to denim down jackets and fleece lined jeans, triple-collared necklines, and exaggerated pleats.
