Mark McNairy New Amsterdam
Veteran designer, Mark McNairy has been honing his classic aesthetic for decades. He started designing women’s sportswear for the label Finis in the late eighties, then moved on to create menswear for 68 & Brothers in the nineties. His preppy sensibility — a byproduct of his North Carolina upbringing — incited the interest of the traditional Ivy League brand J.Press, which named him creative director in 2005 in an attempt to attract a more youthful clientele. McNairy collaborated with Engineered Garments for spring 2009 and 2010, designing capsule collections of his signature English-made shoes.
Mark McNairy has recently launched his footwear label, Mark McNairy New Amsterdam, this January, and since its launch, the New Amsterdam label has focused on footwear — including brogues, boots, loafers, and bucks. However Mark McNairy broadened the brand into pants, shirts, and ties when Spring ’10 hit.
