Snyder frequently travels the globe and was considering both his own wanderlust and the diversity of his home base, New York City, for his collection.

His models came in a range of skin tones and wore eclectic spring looks combining stripes, shorts, topcoats, wide trousers and military touches.

"I just felt like with everything that's going on in the world it was important to be more worldly about the inspiration," Snyder said in a backstage interview. "I've been calling it the melting pot of fashion."

His models, more Gen Z than millennial, also represented the fashion of freedom, caring little about old-school fashion rules, said Snyder, who was influenced by trips to Morocco, Japan, China and Dubai.

"This is probably the most mixing I have done," he said.

There were rustic linens and sporty bomber jackets, athletic looks (some part of a Champion collaboration) and hipster-worthy cropped pants with wide turned-up cuffs. A touch of bohemian was present and stripes were worn loose and easy. Many looks were paired with sturdy military dress shoes.

It's the "state we're in today" and a yearning to hit the road again that had Snyder jazzed the most.

"It's more important now to be inclusive. There's a call out for all of us to stand up for what we believe in," he said. "That was really the inspiration."
