Kim use shades of black, midnight blue, khaki, and mud grey, and incorporates fabrics like cashmere wool, lamb skin, and such along these lines. His concept also insinuates sensuality and power.

Mathieu Mirano F/W 2016 Presentation

2016-02-11T22:00:00.000-08:00

meta property="fb:admins"

The theory behind Mathieu's mindset is quite intriguing if I must add. Upon reviewing this year's Fw16 collection, Mirano has been able to grasp the exact feeling of the infamous desert winds in Egypt through his clothing line. By using silk threads and unique, exquisite French and Italian fabrics, Mirano has created an artist masterpiece. The flexible, smooth threads holding the fabrics together allow the artwork to reflect the flow of the dresses lying against the body, which represent the flow of the wind. Mirano managed to incorporate ombré autumn colors; they are seasonal colors, and also seen as colors of the desert. The scorching yellow, orange sun - the orange, red sky at sunset - the light gray sky during a storm - the gold, yellow sand - the gold pyramids - and the blue sky during a beautiful day, are all part of the fantastic color scheme that make up the desert. The texture of the wind also plays a role in the designs for there are small embellishments representing small bundles of sand that fly in the wind, incorporated into the cocktail and evening dresses.

The rainbow metallic ribbon and crystal embroidered gown was a highlight of the entire collection, for each ribbon was hand sewn with each embellishment directly onto the mesh material. At her knee position, the ribbon turned into fringe, sending the idea out that it sways with the wind. It was the first piece he had created and was inspired to do more. Mirano used mesh engineering fabric that conforms to the body; the dress focuses on the intricate texture and colorful wave of the beautiful sky in Egypt.
http://www.mathieumirano.com/

Mirano also designed pieces in regards to his sculpting artistry, that also define the texture of the desert winds and sand storms. Black liquid silk strapless multi-tiered dress, purple and red liquid silk twisting godet mermaid gown, fuchsia liquid silk dress with side drapes, silver liquid silk car wash how with floor length sleeves, and gold liquid silk sculpture gown - are all dresses that define his sculpting ideas. The material reminds me of a reflection of the water in the Nile river.
Looking at these gowns, they give you the essential idea of heavy winds flowing through the gowns, creating volume within the space.

Another piece that was intriguing was the black stretch georgette car wash gown with embroidered crystals. This gown gives you the feel of the desert night sky, when the sun is setting and all of the stars are clear, almost clear enough to see the Galaxy. The gown is spandex at top and slowly transforms down into lose fringe pieces, representing the desert winds on a bigger scale.

Kenneth Ning Fall/Winter 2016 Men's & Women's Collection

2016-02-06T11:19:00.000-08:00

Inspired by the gunslinging outlaw meets rogue samurai, Kenneth Ning Fall/Winter 2016 collection was a mesh-up of equal parts Tarantino and 13 Assassins meticulously executed for the modern day outcast. The concept of revenge was deconstructed and studied to further inspire the moody collection. Interesting mix of tough oversize hardware against rich fabric like wool, silks nylons, viscose, and rayon add to the edgy look as well as clean tailored pieces offset with distressed hems and unfinished linings. Exaggerated proportions updated traditionally tailored silhouettes. Bold graphic prints take a dark turn as sinister black roses, slashes, and splattered prints. With both men's and women's look in the collection, Ning's F/W 2016 collection was meticulously executed.

Ralphy Pablo F/W 2016 Memswear Presentation - NYFWM

2016-02-04T00:30:00.000-08:00

NEW YORK, NY – February 3, 2016 – RALPHYPABLO debuted its Autumn-Winter 2016 collection during New York Fashion Week Men’s, in an intimate presentation in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood. The menswear collection showcased staple pieces for the quintessential man. Classic Italian wool pea coats were presented in Olive, Navy & Camel and paired with wool, slim-fit, cropped trousers. For AW16 the designer, Rafael Aguirre wanted to create a collection that kept a minimal approach to unique cuts and silhouettes. Square neck t-shirts and Japanese cotton, long sleeve, white button down shirts were integrated into the collection, along with a vibrant, knit sweater with a slit shoulder. Keeping its aesthetic of a luxury take on street wear, bomber jackets paired with tweed, wide-leg trousers and Italian wool shorts played a part of the rock themed collection. Electric blue and black leather, black shearling and neoprene, metal hardware and nylon were textiles seen in the shorter jackets this season.

The ten-look presentation made its mark and best represented the RALPHYPABLO identity with its full-range AW16 collection.

Wood House Fall/Winter 2016 Menswear Collection - NYFWM

2016-02-03T22:30:00.000-08:00

The concept of this brand is to do anything you desire. The designer chose these extravagant but simple looks specifically designed to execute the imaginary, infinite options in a man's closet. We, as women, open our closet and see a collection of styles and sometimes it's so hard to choose from it because it's overwhelming. What if a man could have the same exact privileges as a woman in terms of having so many options it's unbearable to choose a style to wear that moment? The main icon whom represents this collection is a man from the military, stationed in Korea, who loves to model and likes to shine in the light on the runway for a short amount of time. He reflects his environment and feelings through these designs.

Woodhouse has created a unique, ambiguous collection that includes dark, suddle colors with an oriental twist to It. When looking at this collection, I imagine myself somewhere in Thailand on a mountain, sipping tea in a warm cave, styled in oriental modern day clothing. There are beautiful fabrics with zipper accent everywhere, allowing sleeves to come off, or even a turtle neck to unzip to his chest, creating an abundance of designs. Most outfits include jogger pants which allows the man to be stylish but also free and comfortable. High-waisted pants are a recycling idea from decades ago, which Woodhouse brought into modern day fashion incorporated with the collection. Cropped tops are also an addition to this collection, but it meets the high-waisted pant with no skin showing. A military Sargent, an artist, a business man, or a Korean international student are perfect target markets for this season's designs, however all designs are for all genre's of men. Be yourself. Design what you want. Wear what you want. Work where you want. Nothing is impossible. http://www.woodhouseofficial.com/
