runway // opening ceremony // menswear fall 2015

January 16, 2015 by Sara Radin in runway

obsessed with the opening ceremony mens collection for fall 2015! every detail is truly amazing: 1. that is the perfect tan color // 2. love the kodak collaboration (old kodak logos? yes please!) // 3. layered short sleeved knits over longsleeves plus those trousers (the way they bunch up at the bottom but taper at the ankle and the pocket flap with the rounded zipper pull), and all in the same hue! // 4. that grosgrain belt // 5. i want to photoshop my face into every outfit (i even like their male model's hairstyle).

more about the collection from style.com: "who better to recruit for such an undertaking than oc comrade spike jonze? long before he was directing for the big screen, jonze cut his teeth documenting bmx and skate culture, cofounded dirt magazine (regarded as the male counterpart to sassy), and contributed regularly to thrasher magazine. it was his hefty personal archive that yielded some of fall's coolest prints: a dizzying black-and-white skate collage; b-roll stills from the beasite boys, "sabotage" video; bmx bikers mid-air. opening ceremony is also now perhaps the only brand to ever show a sonic youth jacquard."

runway // etro menswear spring 2015

November 11, 2014 by Sara Radin in runway

where fashion + food are typically an odd couple, etro's spring 2015 menswear collection was clever, humorous and visually stimulating. bright colored sportswear was combined with swirling paisley prints and plates of seafood, pasta and fish among other cooking concoctions. style.com says "etro being something of a philosopher, there was the obvious subtext that you are what you eat. so if you wear what you eat, you're punching the point home even harder." just some food for thought.

runway // doodled dior homme // spring 2015

November 04, 2014 by Sara Radin in runway

dior's homme spring 2015 collection emphasized traditional tailored menswear updated with brightly colored doodles. the artful scribbles look like new, abstract stripes in which creative director kris van assche expressed the feeling of "letting it go." next spring, i'll be sporting the doodled sneakers and denim pieces from the men's department (despite cost + size!).

runway // james long menswear spring summer 2015

October 29, 2014 by Sara Radin in runway

inspired by sportswear + youth culture, james long designed striped and color blocked athleisure + denim for his spring/summer 2015 menswear collection. the very cool getup has a definite street/punk vibe. and with primary colored patchwork, each piece looks like a work of contemporary art. as james long put it: "for me, it's more than just sportswear, it's fashion. it's what i wear."

raf simons collaborated with contemporary artist sterling ruby on his fall winter 2014 menswear collection and it's quite cool // according to ssense: "it was inspired by their shared teenage obsessions and passion for counterculture. ruby's visual signatures of bleach splatter's, text art and collaged textiles complement simons' precisely rendered utilitarian staples: parkas, bomber jackets, grunge knits and essential sneakers."

campaign // carven menswear fall winter 2014

October 10, 2014 by Sara Radin in campaign

the fall/winter 2014 carven campaign resembles the work of surrealist/dada artist, man ray. it was shot by fashion photographer viviane sassen, whose photographs are similarly surreal and ambiguous.

more about sassen from dazed digital: "for seventeen years, viviane sassen has been challenging the intersection between fashion and art. her hyper-vibrant, ambiguous photographs question what constitutes a fashion image and vice versa what constitutes one classed as artful. subjects often materialise as mysterious shapes and figures formed by the human silhouette, hybrid shadows and clothing brought to life by flurries of dislocating movement."
