“These are the central concepts of my artistic essence. The transformation of motives therefore is a clearing of reality through optical reduction and refraction of contents. In this way it allows each observer an exempt view on the essential marrow. In this connection my process follows strictly the etymological translation of the word kaleidoscope, which has its roots in the greek language and means ‘to see beautiful forms’.” -Boris Draschoff, Berlin, Germany borisdraschoff.com

Thom Browne Menswear S/S 2015 Marionette Soldiers
An extremely avant-garde show and collection. So far there haven’t been too many this season so it’s a nice change from the continues trends within other collections. This show featured doll like models with clear masks on. The clothing seemed padded and the patterns were continuously mixed and matched. The silhouette where ever changing and architectural which you usually don’t see in a menswear collection. Wearable? ehhhh… well if you can why not right? source:

Umit Benan Menswear S/S 2015 Tennis Studs
Athletic tennis inspired sportswear from a rich country club in the 70’s. With a range of characters from the newcomer to the mature tycoon in all white. This collection was fun to watch due to it’s hyper-masculine styling and location. source:

Lanvin Menswear S/S 2015 Gay Wolf of Wall Street
Very mature and formal with a few casual pieces. The fits on most were loose, especially the pants. A lot of multi-layering with expensive fabrics with luxurious sheen. My favorite outfits went down the runway would have to be the more simple in black and white, and pretty much all the shoes. source:

Kenzo Menswear S/S 2015 Sporty Pastel
Kenzo’s SS15 collection was centered around pastel sportswear. Solid long coats and caps with large outerwear with spots and stripes. Favorite pieces would have to be most of the pullovers and the graphic patterned pants. source:

Givenchy Menswear S/S 2015 B&W Floral Punk
Black and white floral urban punk. Surprisingly masculine in regards to the design factors, the floral designs are more seen as a camouflage graphic than a dainty and delicate representation in clothing. A few pieces wear actually womenswear and some female models were scattered throughout the show. source:

Rick Owens Menswear S/S 2015 Intergalactic Gladiator Basketballers
Old world and fantasy. Dressed as if a battle were to occur wearing sports jersey like pieces paired with wide shorts. Some models had full body paint of a solid lightly tinted dusty colors. Gladiators from another galaxy back in time. Interesting collection to see, it leaves you wondering. source:

Yohji Yamamoto Menswear S/S 2015
Yessss. Probably my personal favorite shows so far. Formal homeless chic at it’s best. Someone hold down the Olsen twins. The draping of rich fabrics playing against the baggy long tailoring creates a perfect balance between too relaxed and overdressed. Multiple combinations of pieces all combined to make similar silhouettes to each other. source:

Gender Swapped Disney Characters by Maby-Chan
Well thought out and highly detailed illustrations by artist Maby-Chan depicting popular Disney characters as the opposite gender. These are so fun to look at, I would be interesting seeing these movies play out in the genders depicted here. The Gentlemen: The Ladies: source:

Louis Vuitton Menswear S/S 2015, Young Throwback Chic
Classy and retro, from the prints to the patterns. Styled head to toe very cleanly and each model mostly paired with clean white sneakers. Very James Bond meets Rebel Without a Cause. My favorite separate pieces would have to be the mustard yellow outerwear and the multicolored bomber jackets. (throws money on the runway) source:
