We now continue this Style Origin coverage with the Men’s High Street brands –
Van Heusen. Corporate, sleek and clean.
Swatch
Izod. Nautical and cuffed. Perfect look for that weekend escape in some obscure island.
Debenhams
Sperry. I was over with the topsider fever, but you have to admit, it suits anything.
Merrel
Topman. Stand out in the crowd with prints, bold and subtle.
Mundo (The Ramp). I am thrilled with the minimalist touch of monochrome in Mundo’s pieces.
Maldita Man. Basics in excellent cut and muted tones.
Celio + Pedro. When it calls for preppy, you know where to get ‘em.
Sassa Jimenez. Summer = floral. And I like how it played with other colors.
Joey Samson. Floral prints seems to be the theme in unique cuts
Jerome Lorico. This isn’t your normal Summer collection, but I love the inspiration got from several indigenous tribes in the South and the use of knit in this collection (which is indigenously sourced also.) What sets it apart from other designs though is the drape styling and ornamental touches such as metallics and aztec patterns.
I really regret not going to the first one, but was really lucky to catch even just a glimpse of Jerome Lorico’s collection.
COMING UP NEXT: M Barretto and Norman Noriega shows their menswear collection at Style Origin 2012 at Trinoma!
