'colour commit', colour, colour statement, colour story, monochrome dress, signature colour, single colour, street fashion, styled in a single colour

 

To indulge in coordinating an outfit

solely in a particular colour and its shade variants,

wearing little if any other hue

in a head – to – toe single colour bias

is to ‘colour commit’.

…

Monochrome-wear is a visual treat:

an exploration of a single colour

and its light / dark tonal qualities.

…

For added sensory depth and textural impact,

fabric mix a colour commit dress statement.

…

Ready.  Set.   Colour Commit:

Choose a single colour for a single outfit.

Wear it in mix fabrication (leather, wool, cotton, silk, etc.)

Stick to it from h to t (head to toe) all in one go!

…

 

Styled:  colour commit

'spezzatura', Fall 2015, fashionspeak, menswear, Pitti Uomo, street style sass, style inspiration

 

 

The fashion high voltage spotlight is now solely positioned on

menswear, autumn 2015

runway designs and street style exhibitions-

as presented during the five day ‘fashionableness’ event,

Pitti Uomo (Florence, Italy).

 

…

(photo by Adam Katz Sinding):

And … scene:  group pose

…

Pitti Uomo has evolved into the fashion world’s

most extravagant menswear occasion.

Established fashion street photographer Scott Schuman,

who is known from his work The Sartorialist,

has dubbed the Pitti Uomo “the Super Bowl of men’s fashion”

for its on and off runway style parade.

…

Starting 15 January to 19 January 2015, designers presenting at Pitti Uomo

will showcase their crafted menswear collections for a/w 2015.

Yet, it is the greatly anticipated off runway show of enviable Italian flair for

dress spezzatura (seemingly effortless with maximum impact),

which will be much observed and emulated.

…

Why not consider a few street style suggestions:  take note.

autumn/winter 2014, Christoper Shannon, menswear, menswear - bold accents, menswear designers, menswear fashion, sportswear

 

“Kitted, like a football team,”

is how British menswear designer Christopher Shannon

describes his a/w 2014 collection.

 

…

(image from independent.co.uk):

menswear designer Christopher Shannon

menswear designer, Christopher Shannon

…

The pieces generate an urban, sportswear, contemporary vibe

tempered with a soft, effortlessness:  a blend of street attitude and lux ease.

The materials and patterns use tell the style-story of

a certain toughness with leather, a visual softness with florals

and an inventiveness with men’s knit silhouette.

 

…

…

The jewellery, crafted by the legendary stylist/designer Judy Blame,

were striking statement pieces.

Men’s white toiletry bags as carriers added colour interest and style attention.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins prestigious MA course in Fashion Design,

Mr. Shannon won the inaugural  BFC/GQ Designer Menswear Fund-

awarded in summer 2014.

The prize, bestowed by the British Fashion Council (BFC)

and GQ magazine, provides monetary and mentoring assistance.

A menswear designer on a perfect ascent,

Shannon is definitely one to watch.
