This Calvin Klein collection is a story with a timeline unlike most collections this season. I assume the nude represents birth, the bright industrial plastic candy like coats represent blooming and/or our highest peak and the black is symbolic of death. It’s a lifespan, It’s interesting seeing them all dip into each-other as the timeline slowly progresses. I personally love the full nude and dark outfits because they are the extreme of both sides.

Burberry Prorsum Menswear S/S 2015
Very interesting collection, my favorite element of course would be the hats but also the very analogous color pallet. Single outfits all red, blue, yellow etc, but different kinds of shades and hues. Layered and well accessorized these gentlemen look stunningly dapper.

Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2015 Seeing Spots!
What’s red and black and has spots all over (sorry I had to). This collection had many loose fitting and flowing pieces in what seems is silk. A very informal feel due to it feeling like night clothing. Almost like high quality lingerer for men. I see of a lot of the whole patterned top and bottom trend. Overall everything was well thought out and made. I love it. source:

Neil Barrett S/S 2015 White Out!
Perfectly fitted and to the point. Neil Barrett’s SS collection is pure in lack of color. But what in lacks in color it makes of for in sleek fitted design. Very well dressed and layered art-school brat that loves architecture. The collection is very wearable and cool-chic. source:

Alexander McQueen | Men’s Spring/Summer 2015 | Runway Show
Oversized, long, wide and elongated. This theme carried from the shoes to the jackets and suits. With a color pallet of black, white, red and grey the clothing had utilitarian and structured movement even though most were oversize. The young male models trotted out with a similar emo hair pulled forward partially covering their faces. Although there were a few amazing long coats, this collection had an objectionable amount of low impact flair. Like a western magician/white urban gangster feel. Does that even make sense? sheez. Imagine Justin Beiber going to his favorite goofy aunts party. Just watch the runway below and maybe you’ll be able to pull the same references

Did someone throw paint on your bag?! No, Painted Accesories.
Remember Kim Kardashians painted Birkin? I do. It seems rediculs at first but the more you think about it it’s just another way of mixing art and fashion. We’ve always seen an abundance of clothing being painted, and in a ever evolving industry we are looking for new ways to say the same thing. Below are bags from Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2014 Details, LFW. who incorporate this painted accessory trend. Do you find this trend ridiculous or uniquely stylish?

Men in Flowers, Floral Menswear
In the words of Miranda Priestly “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking” It’s a cliché we know. But when things are naturally beautiful why not roll with it? The thing that can offset the cheesiness of a spring floral would to switch some things up. So why not the gender. Men don’t have as many options as woman do when it comes to different articles of clothing they can wear, so they have to rely greatly on fit and pattern. A pattern for men that has been seemingly untouched would be floral. Here are a few photographs featuring men in colorful floral based outfits. source:

Edun AW14
Soft, like wrapping yourself in a cloud. If I’ve ever wanted to fall asleep in a collection this would be the one. Long flowing pieces went down the runway, texture mixing and fuzzy chunky knits. source:
