BURB-5

For the Burberry Womenswear Autumn/Winter 2015 collection classic sentimentality is ever present but in the form of figurative postcards from exotic corners of the world with each look. Batik print trench coats were styled with suede patchwork bottoms for a print-on-print effect. Day dresses with exposed panelling continued the print story, fashioning oriental motifs at times. Paako Indian embroidery with embedded mirror accents carry forward a theme from the men’s show. But what is poised to becoming the season’s must-haves were the fringed capes and matching bucket bags that were decidedly bohemian.  Continue reading

For the Burberry Prorsum Menswear Autumn/Winter 2015 Collection Christopher Bailey shifted direction with a collection labelled ‘Classical Bohemian. Inspired by the dandy decadence that marked the end of the Sixties’ menswear explosion, the show added a whole new swathe of surfaces and details to the label’s existing palette: faded tapestry florals, plush leopard-prints, saturated velvets, thickly-fringed blankets and shimmering Rajasthan mirror work.  Continue reading

In Saint Laurent’s 2015/16 Paris Menswear Fashion Show designer Hedi Slimane’s models strode from one pool of half-light into another, a collage of highly stylized, highly recognizable archetypes presented themselves like wisps. A fitted three-button caban, inverse-color Breton, and supertight jeans. A black jacket and polo-neck worn with supertight black jeans scarred by zippers. A grunge-touched high olive nylon bomber above a leopard sweater, plus black jeans (supertight). It’s probably best to stop specifying the tightness of the pants.  Continue reading

Alexander Wang said he started working on his new Balenciaga collection by thinking about Cristóbal’s original clientele. Wang’s shapes were straight out of the archives: a cocoon coat, rounded jackets with stand-up collars, bubble skirts—all of it decorated to the hilt with paste jewelry, like the ladies would’ve done back in the day, only with the real stuff.  Continue reading

9/19/15 O&A NYC Its Saturday- Anything Goes: Fendi- Fall Winter 2015/2016 Menswear Collection

It is Saturday hqdefault

The Fendi 2015 fall/winter collection pushed the notion further by making every jacket and coat fully reversible. For a moment, Venturini Fendi even considered sending the collection down the catwalk one way, flipping it inside out, and sending the entire collection out again. “The collection looks completely different when it’s reversed,” she said. “It’s like the peekaboo effect in clothes.” Or like the brown suede coat that flipped to gray leather.
