Gant by Michael Bastian

Influenced by the tropical tribal elements of the Galapagos islands Bastian presented a spirited collection of ready to wear pieces.  The looks presented were mostly shown as layered ensembles.  Jackets on top of button-down shirts over henleys over graphic tees.  The array of colors and prints represented the lush landscape the tropics have to offer.  The shapes offered to resemble survival gear, as cargo pants and soft leather sandals made their way down the catwalk.  Of the accessories provided the standout start was the series of buckle free braided belts which tied to the side with ease.
