American fashion is still figuring out a way through the concept of diversity and how wants to be recognised on the world stage. It has a global impact and reputation of bringing jeans, workwear, sportswear, streetwear into the fashion world. Therefore, when the question is posed, “What defines American Fashion?”, the reaction can be broadly such as might not be able to express it specifically while others can show it.
In WWD Mike Eckhaus, Eckhaus Latta mentions: “When you think about the French or Italians or the British, there’s confidence. Like, ‘This is what Milan or London or Paris looks like and we’re confident in this.’ And for some reason New York is always like, ‘Uh I don’t know. Maybe we’re too commercial and it’s b boring.’ Yes, that is true for a lot of work that is presented in New York.” I would like to agree with Mike Eckhaus, because New York highlights on the fashion commercial and the business features. Due to the balancing creativity with commercial, it is contributing to see a lack of audacity compared to alternatives fashion cities. Although, if you look on the historical circumstances Paris, Milan, and London from century they prove their own fashion identities.

For example, Micheal Kors is an American fashion designer which is known for his clothing and accessories. His work emphasises a casual grace by melting the classic American sportwear with a touch of sophisticate aesthetic. In my prospective view, the brand, Micheal Kors relates to commercial strategy which target an overseas of consumer base. Therefore, I personally think from his designs does not capture the essence of American fashion, but he goes towards to a traditional and classic fashion aesthetics.
By this it shows that Micheal Kors designs does not represent an evolving nature of American Fashion. In conclusion, American fashion identity appears to be a new develop with a delicate interaction of commerce and creativity. However, is still in a place where can define its own identity especially, to highlights that has promising events which can be create its own identity inside the world of fashion.
