Presented during London Fashion Week earlier this year, the Chalayan 2017-18 autumn-winter menswear collection was a very busy, yet minimalist collection that drew our eye as one of the must-see collections of the season.
Featuring colorwise simple neutrals such as brown, tan, khaki and black, the collection impressed through the amazing details that made the pieces truly remarkable.
The detailing of the cuts and shapes and the ways in which they were mixed together made for a collection of clothes any fashion-forward man would want to have.
Usually, really fashion-forward collections are either very glamorous and sparkly or they reinterpret classic pieces. In this case, however, Chalayan managed to offer a fashion-forward collection that seems to be inspired by rather ethnic, yet bohemian clothes.
‘Dreamlike’ is probably the best way to describe this collection, which takes us on a sartorial journey. Rounded and straight lines, flowy piece and structured pieces meet in a dance of shapes and sizes. The textures and prints go hand in hand and support the magical story told by the brand.
There are not many men who are the Chalayan man this season, they definitely represent a select group of men who look beyond the ordinary and who are open to new ideas that will transform the way they see the world.
The collection signed by Hussein Chalayan does not feature an overt eccentricity, but it features a very strong insight and understanding of the world. It unveils things that are covered and mysterious.
The Chalayan autumn-winter 2017 menswear collection has a unique point of view. It’s alternative, but it’s still high-end and elegant. It features a sensitive masculinity and takes us on a trip to imaginary spaces… or not so imaginary….
In the gallery below, discover our favorite looks from the collection and why we like them:
-
- Proportions, fun and elegance.
-
- Cropped pants are usually a big no for men, but in this case, they go extremely well.
-
- A cape-jacket should be the new big thing.
-
- This look is just what men who want to have some protection form their clothes, but who still want to be dynamic and free to move.
-
- The shapes are extremely beautiful and elegant and well supported by the camel. This type of jacket goes well with anything.
-
- Playing with the oversized aesthetic, this jacket is designed for a younger audience.
-
- This vest and coat combination is a must-do!
