Inherent, a brand that began as a small online store in 2020, has made a significant splash in the fashion world with its Fall/Winter 2023 collection. The brand’s Founder, Designer, and CEO, Taylor Draper, showcased his custom-made tailored sportswear collection on the runways of New York Fashion Week to the audience’s excitement.
The Fall/Winter 2023 collection embodies the luxury and style that Inherent is known for while remaining true to the brand’s mission of promoting men’s mental health. Draper drew inspiration from classic English tailoring, New York streetwear, and Ivy League styles, creating a unique blend of timeless and modern fashion under the Inherent moniker. The collection featured wool, cotton, cashmere suitings, twills, plush corduroy, and shirtings, with a severe dose of butter-soft knitwear. The rich color palette of moss and forest green, chocolate brown, midnight navy, and a few accent colors created a sense of warmth and comfort during the colder months. The range of styles and silhouettes ran the spectrum, from traditional blazers and trousers to contemporary streetwear-inspired pieces, all crafted with the highest quality materials.
Draper’s vision for Inherent goes beyond just dressing men in style; it challenges men to develop a sense of style that breeds self-confidence to face the world with their heads held high. Inherent’s mission is to advance men’s mental wellness through its non-profit, the Foundation by Inherent, which creates programs, resources, and events to change the face of men’s mental health. A portion of all sales and employee time is directed toward the foundation. Through Inherent, Draper hopes to normalize feelings of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt while sparking honest conversations around mental health, ultimately giving men the confidence and courage to speak out.
Watches by Piaget Watches and shoes by Vanessa Noel completed the looks on the runway.
Inherent’s success is a testament to Draper’s perseverance and commitment to mental wellness, and his journey serves as an inspiration to those who may be facing similar challenges. With Inherent, Draper has created a brand that offers luxurious fashion and promotes a positive message of self-care and mental wellness, making it a standout in the fashion world.
