Menswear Spring 2015: Romance
Romance Down to Earth Style:
Patchworked, bleached, printed or otherwise embellished denim.
Think: Nostalgic Americana, Little house on the prairie and The Waltons
Color; blue
Silhouette; baggy
Louis Vuitton
Junya Watanabe
Junya Watanabe
Junya Watanabe showed nothing but (embellished) denim with a worn down, patched up feel to the outfits. At Louis Vuitton there was a little denim segment (the odd one out at the show, but still…)
Romance Dramatic Style:
Embellishment galore from brocade to tule.
Think: Dance, in a broad way; from ballet to bull fighting
Color: Neutrals and greens
Silhouette; most important, cropped tops

Balmain
Dolce and Gabanna showed a clear theme: The Toreador. Cropped (toreador) jackets were also present at Walter van Beirendonck and Balmain. Dries van Noten’s collection was inspired by Nureyev, adding embellished accents to the shoulders in the shape of “holsters” and epaulettes in (embellished) brocade (images via style.com)
