I want to name today, "the extraordinary and men's wear day". Mary Katrantzou, Ashish, Christian Blanken, and Alfred Dunhill are featured due to their outrageous designs that screams through the ceiling!
Mary Katrantzou, the new star that breaks all rules in the fashion industry, brings you the utmost craziest prints. "I wanted to push the boundaries almost to the point where you don't recognise it's a print." She said backstage after the show. "It's a difficult balance. I start with a silhouette and layer print over print over print," she explained. The layers and prints are crazily put together, which somehow fits amazingly well despite the usual absolute no-no for prints over prints.
She tranformed the women figure with the cutting, the shape of 18th century British style, and of course the prints over prints. Keep that up, it is going to be the BIG HIT for this summer and fall!
Ashish, on the other hand, came up with an all teenage style. "The India-born, London-based designer travelled the punk-Highlander route, via Bollywood. Mini dresses came in a rainbow patchwork of blue, green, red, purple and yellow tartans, shimmering with sequins. T-shirts and boxer shorts featured sequinned Union Flags. Sweaters and jackets were ripped and torn, covered in holes or bristling with thousands of sequins. (telegraph.co.uk)" Multicolor, ripped, "cobweb" tights exaggerates the distressed effect of the whole collection. It's definitely an interesting collection that reminds me of Mark Zuckerburg in rainbows for some reasons, lol.
Christian Blanken, a talented renowned designer based in Britain, restarted his label 2 years ago, after ten years of working with several other design labels. Incredibly talented! For this collection, he described his designs as "clean, tailored, sharp, luxe and modern, not sweet! (londonfashionweek.co.uk)" Non-prints, color, tight pants, and black heels. Classic modern might be the exact word I'm looking for. Another great collection
Last but not least, give it up to Alfred Dunhill, whom of course has came up with a total of SIX sets of styles featured in their Fall 2011 collection, including business casual, suit, military, casual, and black tie for fall and winter respectively. I won't say I follow men's fashion too much, but they all look very mature upholding gentlemen. It is.. sexy!
