#NYFWM: PLAC Spring/Summer 2016

by xoJohn

PLAC Spring/Summer 2016 started with a phrase of song titled “Wake-up” by Arcade fire is an energetic collection to convey a positive message to young generation having inner conflicts between society and individual and suggests new attitude to new kids for PLAC.

The process of garments design development starts with original military look reflecting unique details re invented from existing skills and trendy-pattern to provide novel items, and the reinterpretation of sportswear shows sophisticatedly urban silhouettes by using experimental modern detail. Also, inspired by the function and physical activity of sportswear, the collection reflects both neo-military and contemporary sportism at the same time. Camouflage print plus typography and photo collage with young and contemporary aesthetics deliver hopeful messages to new kids.

The generation of wealth and the generation of unrest are incorporated into this collection using clean and fresh construction and vital energetic colors. Mix of modern and easy to be matched mono chrome and various range of vital herb green and sunlight orange represents new kids overcoming anxiety of young generation. Using familiar materials in an unfamiliar way is our core; by combining heterogeneous textures and light compact materials we are inducting change. High density cotton, soft cotton, silky nylon, knit infused rayon, jersey with unique texture and feeling, double faced materials are mainly used.

General Idea Autumn/Winter 2015 Collection

by John Stolen

Highwaters, pinstripes, and pleats – oh my! Proceed with caution, gentlemen, the 90s are back in full swing and the Autumn/Winter 2015 men’s collection for General Idea is not for the faint of heart – but rather for the fashion forward. With footwear provided by Dr. Marten, this collection makes a very clear statement. We’re not super keen on pleated pants in general, or high water trousers, but the dark, woolen fabrics and the simple, streamlined knit sweaters are definitely something we can get behind. A favorite? The color-blocked, full-length, sleeveless, wool coat – out of a relatively jarring collection, this piece is truly to die for.

J.Lindeberg Autumn/Winter 2015 Menswear Collection

by John Stolen

From 2001: A Space Odyssey to 2015’s Space Vision: A Tailored Odyssey. J.Lindeberg’s A/W 2015 Menswear collection is overtly inspired by travel in outer space, and the contrast between Earth and Mars. The collection is everything you could hope to see when presented with such a title. Slim fit trousers, the edges of a metallic knit sweater peeking out from the sleeves and neck of fitted blazers and bombers. Metallic boots! There are metallic leather boots, which draw the collection together.

Hickey Freeman’s David Hart does not disappoint this season with a collection that takes the label back to its all-American roots. Incorporating the autumnal palette of deep red, ochre, burnt orange, and a healthy mixture of brown and navy Hart gives a modern turn to the wide-brimmed bowlers and shearling bombers by creating a collection for every life situation the modern, metropolitan (or even suburban) man may face. The season ranges from a navy blazer checked with red over grey trousers, to a blue button-up paired with burgundy sweatpants, and plenty of solid suits to round out the many facets of a man’s lifestyle.

À MOI Spring/Summer 2015 Collection

by Alissa Wilson

Effortless, easy, classic, and sleek describe A Moi’s spring 2015 collection. Drawing inspiration from her ancestral past, designer Alejandra Alonso created a collection that was all about ” rejecting the conventional and creating new realities.” A color palette of cool soft colors like navy, white, and powder blue was the backdrop for embroidered dresses, jacquard cardigans, and asymmetrical skirts. The collection offered a revered sophistication. Texture played a key role in Alonso’s use of crisp organza, soft Italian cotton, and lambskin.

Welcome to Miami, Bienvenidos a Miami! Original Penguin Spring 2015 stepped back into the wonderful era of the late 1950’s Miami, a glamorous time period filled with energetic fun and promise.

The design team behind Original Penguin Spring ’15 referenced the beautiful homes and art-deco buildings of South Beach in the color palette, with chromatic blues, vibrant greens, aqua, and soft pinks. Real men wear pink and this collection is a champion of that idea. It would not be a Miami-inspired collection without floral print.
