Editor’s Notes: Dear Vanessa is a new menswear brand, created by Poyan Rahimzadeh. Each season will be based on a different character; the first collection is called "The Bar Mitzvah of Mortdecai."

"The Bar Mitzvah of Mortdecai" is inspired by "a relentless pursuit of belonging and memoirs of a fictional character recalling his former significant other." Each piece in the collection tells a different story of The Protagonist.

The collection's color palette is full of soft, muted tones. Aside from outerwear, vests, and long-sleeve shirts, Dear Vanessa's debut collection includes shoes that are somewhere between sneakers and formal footwear.

Stay tuned for release details.
