毒品/COACH 1941 MEN’S SS17

Oooh you betta hope for a cool Spring this 2017 so you can go around flossing these layered looks from Coach 1941, and designer Stuart Vevers! It’s a dope collection filled with a variations of jackets; leather jackets, trenches, and bomber jackets. Some of the most coveted I have seen this season, especially with the added hand draw artworks of one Gary Baseman, himself of a fair amount of fame in his own right. If you don’t know you betta ask somebody! The collection is strong in prints showcasing Gary’s work and plays to a darker palette of reds and blacks. It definitely packs a upper cut of cool! Get you some.

真/CURIOSO : CHRISTOPHER SHANNON MEN’S SS17

Well everything was going swimmingly with the SS17 Christopher Shannon show, starting with sportswear in some sorbet colors. The all white sneakers, a collaboration with Hi-Tec where so fresh and oh so clean! Must admit the head pieces were strange, but a funk I could digest. Then the denim arrived. First it gave me flash backs of warehouse raves with the re-up of what we called, “Vader pants”, familiar territory. Then emboldened, Chris started ripping the denim or cutting windows in them. More than the technique it was the placement of the cuts. Once he got to straight detachments and cuffs hanging off the ankles my laughter could not be supressed! Do you young squire! Whooohaa~

M.I.A. CHRISTOPHER KANE MEN’S SS17

Yo WTF is up?! Remember when Christopher was one of the leading lights of the mid 2000 generation? He was buzzin with Gareth Pugh, with dem girls from the west, Cali, um..Rodarte! They all kinda came in around the same time if my hazy memory doth recall correct. I also recall a few years back C. Kane received quite an infusion of money into his business to help it grow and then started putting out monster collections. Monster not used here in reference to quality of output, but quantity. Hitting almost Armani territory in seasonal looks that for me haven’t carried any of his early promise and ingenuity. Another season for men here that seems rather ho-hum. The bib is kinda cool, and the prints referencing a firing range on both the pants and the jacket back, but damn really? It ain’t blowing my mind, where you at man?!

真/CURIOSO : CERRUTI 1881 SUIT WITH CARGO PANTS

Na son. This a faux pas. Cargo pants with a suit? No, no, no, no. You know how the streets and sports have an unwritten code? Well this is one of them for fashion. This some oil and water ish. Go sit in the penalty box for 5 and a game misconduct. Pretty slick looking piece too except ‘dem details on the pants. Sometimes it’s never been done cuz it shouldn’t be done, not that our predecessors couldn’t imagine it. This a fail from sophomore designer Jason Basmajian. Let’s try and forget this travesty.

毒品/COMME DES GARCONS SHIRTS PLUS MEN’S SS17

Nice. Well I do think they walked every iteration of pinstripe shirting they could think of down the catwalk and it was dope! People have tried to mix camouflage with varying degrees of success and failure for a while now and I think CDG Shirts Plus has balanced the alchemy successfully this season. All types of mixes, blends, placements were on display. A few dashes of thick black stripes with contrasting sleeve patterns also caught my eye as did the pinstriped hats and some unorthodox vests. Always keeping us on our toes, the CDG empire has another winner on it’s hands! Salute.
