USA:Dockers teams with Alexander Wang & five designer brands

This September, the Dockers brand is partnering with celebrated apparel designer Alexander Wang—as part of his being named GQ's Best New Menswear Designer in America—and a diverse group of five other influential American menswear designers to unveil a limited-edition collection. The highly anticipated assortment allows each designer the opportunity to reinterpret the iconic khaki pant in a fresh, modern way, while using the Dockers brand's time-tested expertise in working with the fabric as a source of collaborative inspiration.

In addition to Wang, who received the honor earlier this year for his T by Alexander Wang collection, the khaki leader is teaming with designer brands Riviera Club, Miller's Oath, Warriors of Radness, and CFDA members Patrik Ervell and Michael Bastian in the creation of unique head-to-toe khaki looks.

Beautifully detailed, the resulting collection created by the winner and nominees of GQ's Best New Menswear Designers in America project showcases the Dockers brand's own khaki heritage, incorporating both utilitarian and sartorial details with each designer's clearly defined aesthetic. Highly collectible, the collaborative range will be introduced for purchase through an event hosted by actor Donald Glover from NBC's hit comedy "Community" at the Bloomingdale's store at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City. This in-store event is open to the public and will coincide with the third annual Fashion's Night Out shopping extravaganza in New York City on September 8.

"It was a huge honor to win the GQ Best New Menswear Designer in America award this year, and we've enjoyed the process of collaborating with GQ, Dockers and Bloomingdales," says winning-designer Alexander Wang.
