My infatuation with Lucio Castro’s dynamic collections of seasons past has officially ended.
According to the design team, “The Stonehenge Collection” is inspired by traveling communities in the UK during the mid-1990’s; and moved around in old buses that were transformed into their respective homes and creative spaces. My interpretation – everyone got dressed in complete darkness after coming down from an ultimate high, courtesy of a “California Kush” smoke session.
The collection leans too heavily on oversized silhouettes, clashing patterns, and awful culottes for men. The idea of lazy-comfort is too prominent, especially with the sleek direction of where menswear is going this upcoming fall.
My grandmother always told me to say something nice, even if I don’t want to do so.
With that said, there are a few hidden gems in the collection when broken down into separates. Some of the highlights in an oddly distracting collection include: a burgundy paisley-dot shirt; a natural-colored double cashmere coat; and an eggplant wool suit.
Lucio Castro fall/winter 2016 is a confusing journey even for a stoner. If this is what you wear to a spiritual and musical gathering at Stonehenge, I will not be in attendance.
