From one trade show to another—such is the life of a select few here at Complex. (Not that we’re complaining; who else can you depend on for up-to-date info on that sleek, fickle bitch known as modern menswear?) This week, NYC hosted (capsule), a fashion and lifestyle event dedicated to showcasing only the best in European and North American street, high-tech, work, and sportswear. As always, we saw some amazing things there (like the return of Edwin!), and Fall 2010 has suddenly become a lot more exciting (and not just because Miley Cyrus is turning 18). Here’s why…

After making stops at the Super, ROD NYC and Maui & Sons booths, we left impressed. Check out mini-profiles on the three companies and what their key-pieces were after the jump.

SUPER

Although the silhouette has been around for almost a year, Super continues to re-invent their stunner shades. With a bolder shape than a Wayfarer, the unisex frames are universally flattering. Offering tons of color options at an affordable $130, there’s a pair for everyone. Look out for the wood grain frames in their upcoming collections.

ROD NYC
rodnyc.com

This is the brand you want to hit up to get your grown man on. Having already been co-signed by Mos Def, the company that was started by Rod Keenan churns out handmade hats that make for instant class. The timeless shapes and hand-woven straws will instantly take you back to 1950's Cuba-steez. And when it’s cold, look to the fur felts embellished with vintage trims.

Maui & Sons
mauiandsons.com

This classic surf brand has a serious nostalgia factor for all you '80s babies. Along with the brands aggressive re-launch, they’ve collaborated with Opening Ceremony on tees using vintage logos and graphics that rival anything you loved back in grade school. These will be available by the end of August at Opening Ceremony New York, so start saving your duckets now.

Yesterday Complex hit up the third annual Capsule NYC tradeshow, to see who’s about to make some noise in the menswear market. Held in the quirkiest of locations (an old neo-gothic synagogue in the LES), it’s appropriate that the show previews only the most high-minded and fashion-forward independent mens lines out there, without delving into some of the candy-assed brands you’ll see at Magic this August.

As per usual, old favorites like Clae, Peg Leg, and Penfield had a strong showing, while fresh blood like Hot Air and Schmoove also repped their set. Although many brands were showing their future goods for the Spring/Summer 2009 seasons, the venue was plentiful of dope products that are available now. Hit the jump to get familiar (if you’re not already) with the brands and their new pieces that stood out from the rest.

Cavern

Born out of Los Angeles in 2005, Cavern features hand-drawn graphics and a sun-bleached palette. Starting out as only tee-shirts, they’ve recently expanded their line to a full range of threads. Look out for their super-soft, vaguely acid-wash print graphic tees for Spring 2009. Cavern is sold at Odin and Oak NYC.

Creative Recreation

Creative Recreation isn’t new to the game, and they continue to mature as a premium sneaker line. For fall, they’ve shelved the skittles colorups and went straight black-on-black for their O.G model, the Cesario. In addition to upgrading past models, the brand will also drop a made-in Italy collection for Spring 2009, that utilizes luxe Italian leathers.

Naked & Famous Denim

This Canadian denim line uses only “rare and raw” (no pause!) Japanese denim. Keeping up with the ongoing trend of going back to the basics, their jeans are simple, straightforward, and strictly selvedge. You won’t find any ridiculous ass-embroidery with this line, and with funny fits like “Slim Guy” and “Weird Guy” this brand’s tongue is firmly implanted in it’s cheek. The line is currently available at Barney’s.
