Loose fitted crinkled suits, over-sized raincoats and tailored jumpsuits. Yusuke was inspired by Varanasi, the spiritual capital of India.
All in fashion
Hayfever
Bees, flowers, pollens – the nightmare of some people during haying season, are playfully incorporated in the delicate make-up of the model. Symptoms of allergy like watery eyes and red nose capture an awkward beauty, and inject a hint of vulnerability.
Haider Ackermann SS17
Ackerman said “It’s all about freedom” and so he pushed his dandy aesthetic towards the sportswear territory and didn’t leave one Pantone chart unexplored.
Y/Project SS17
Glenn Marten’s pirates rocked the runway, set on a boat by the banks of Seine playing dub reggae and jamming tunes.
Lemaire SS17
The show was held in the beautiful Palais de la Femme, a 1910 vintage charitable refuge for distressed women. Christophe Lemaire and Sarah Linh Tran went on a voyage and brought multicultural influences to this season.
Damir Doma SS17
The collection contrasted with sober textiles and sensual treatments in olive, white, ochre, orange, indigo and black. Stretched proportions that resulted in a softening between the female and male silhouette.
Jil Sander SS17
Sleek, sleek, sleek. The glossy hair matched the shiny tailored leg trousers, long trench coats and the clean colour palette. Jil returned to her true founding principles and roots — nineties minimalism.
Raf Simons SS17
Asymmetrical sweaters, long coats and oversized tops were the common theme for the Raf Simons SS17 collection while the mannequins proudly wore Robert Mapplethorpe photographs as prints on their chest.
Gosha Rubchinskiy SS17
Shadows raised from the post-Soviet concrete silhouette and out marched a gang of perfectly casted prodigies. Dressed in acrylic tracksuits, heavy silver chains, stuffed in Fila sweaters and mullet cuts, Gosha took us back to a school yard somewhere in the Soviet union in 1984.
Cottweiler SS17
Cottweiler’s catwalk presented an almost apocalyptic vision of something between a ruined hotel resort and cracked alien egg shells.
Craig Green SS17
Bondage and biblical influences created a certain oriental beauty at the Craig Green show. He took us on a pilgrimage to far off lands.
Lou Dalton SS17
Freedom was the greatest inspiration for Lou this season and for her that means Walking. So what would make your hike into something unforgettable other than lightweight sheer patterned tops and black silky trousers?
Purple Rain
Inspired by the 1984 Prince’s hit film ‘Purple Rain’, this story incorporate tonal purple lights to create an ethereal mood.
Uptown Funk
We like to think uptown is the home for glamour and luxury, but with the season's athletic mood it transformed into something more eclectic and fluid.
The Hoyden
A dialogue between masculinity and femininity that challenges our perception of how women are supposed to look, behave and think today.
Sticking Plaster
True beauty doesn't live within normality, but in the singular individual.
