Todd Snyder collaborates with John Derian
Todd Snyder has done it again! The menswear designer’s latest collaboration is with artist John Derian, who’s fruit, floral, and nature paintings cover shirts, hoodies, shorts, and more in a new collection celebrating self-expression and escapism. It comes as no surprise that Snyder would look to the past for inspiration—he used to visit Derian’s East Village shop while working at J.Crew! As a special surprise, viral florist Lewis Miller installed one of his “Flower Flash” arrangements in front of the Todd Snyder Liquor Store to celebrate the launch, which has been reposted by everyone from Jazmin Grimaldi to Katie Couric. You can shop the collection now on Todd Snyder’s website.
