But the bulk of the collection followed the same aesthetic and logic of many Scandinavian brands of minimal, functional and quiet.

The avant-garde Belgian designer imagined what his fantasy aliens would look and dress like (oddly Bowie-esque). The result was a colorful, light-hearted and, at times, thoughtful in its useful of plastics as an allegory for pollution and wasteUnknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496624463583617366.post-35899997532042069222019-07-19T10:00:00.000-04:002019-07-19T10:00:06.190-04:00RUNWAY: OAMC SS20It might be a big confusing to see all the layers upon layers of clothing that OAMC put on the runway at its SS20 show. But these beguiling layers were light and airy with some autumnal patterns thrown in for good measure.

Or leave those cobwebs on your suits, Undercover embossed their suits with the pattern, which heightened the creepy and scary images that were emblazoned those mostly-black clothes.

It is also on the mind of Mihara Yasuhiro, evidenced here by his Spring/Summer 2020 collection rooted in a morose take on dressing - with references to hazmat suits, construction Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496624463583617366.post-9794554586396607502019-07-17T11:00:00.000-04:002019-07-17T11:00:10.588-04:00RUNWAY: White Mountaineering SS20Starting off with a mostly-all-black opening looks, White Mountaineering layered upon those black layers vibrant animalia prints, flora, and more to create an outdoorsy collection of utilitarian clothes with some serious style.

There were references to the tropics a la palm tree'd shirts to The Big Lebowski.

Just par for the course for Comme des Garcons.

The bohemian-chic aesthetic felt especially new with these laid back, beach-ready layers in (sometimes) sun-bleached hues or cool pastels in pink or blue. In all, a strong effort from Anderson.

But in the end, he's got his niche and fills it with covetable clothes with utilitarian inspirations and a modest, care-free vibe.

There were jocks and geeks and the sex-loving band geek, complete with a knit that said "I LOVE PENIS". Because, why not?

Why do you think there are many military-inspired collections every season? GmbH's latest collection also took on the idea of armor but this one was less military and more superstition.

The latest Ann Demeulemeester collection did just that and fell into the trap of being too literal with roped accessories seen as bag handles, roped belts, sailor collars and more.

This Spring/Summer 2020 collection was undoubtedly bittersweet and seemed to hark back on their tenure at Kenzo, which in fashion years is quite an eternity with designers leaving their posts within two-to-three years.

It was not ground breaking but the effort here was strong and showed the steady and deliberate tailoring aesthetic that pushes the Meiers forward.
