“There will come a time in your life where you will ask yourself the serious questions,” began the soundtrack at Todd Snyder’s fall 2020 show. “Am I happy with who I am?” rang out as an algae green suit took the runway. “Do I have a life, or am I just living?” hung in the air over a fishing vest. The connection here between Underground Revolution’s 2002 club track “Transition” and Snyder’s collection, which featured a collaboration with L.L.
Backstage after the show, Snyder spoke fondly of his youth in Iowa, spent hunting and camping in L.L. Bean apparel. Those memories informed Snyder’s riffs on everything from Bean’s Duck boot and tote to a slim-cut suit in the brand’s signature red flannel. Where Snyder thrives is in transforming the quotidian into the coveted; his corduroys, intarsia knits, and just-pleated-enough trousers will have serious appeal when they hit stores this fall.
But opening a show with a pointed audio and visual message about existentialism as tied to the splendor of the American landscape can be fraught at this particular moment in our climate crisis. For its measure L.L. Bean utilizes recycled polyester in a majority of its garments—remember polyester, however recycled, is still a chemical compound—and can refurb its Duck boots seemingly ad infinitum.
