Agender wear: dropping “the bomb” (jacket, that is!) on Fall Fashion for 2015

16 Wednesday Sep 2015

autumn/winter 2015, bomber jacket, Favlook - Lookfav Focus, gender neutral fashion, off - runway fashion, on runway fashion, outerwear, style ideas?, style inspiration

The bomber jacket

as a gender neutral,  on point piece

continues to explode with fashion heat

making another style statement appearance for autumn 2015.

.

…

This season, think out of the box with bomber jacket styling:

no need to march to standard military green-

go with with a jewel colour company

experiment with patterns, prints and varied fabrication

play with proportion for the long and short of it

switch up silhouette shaping in cropped or oversized options

…

The bomber, in all its permutations, is  ‘must have’ outerwear

for this autumn / winter season.

…

 

Heads up:  styling cues on and off runway

Bomb(ers ) Away!

Inspired by traditional Japanese paper craft (origami): by designer, Junya Watanabe for a / w 2015

Japanese avant garde designer

Junya Watanabe

is an innovative voice in the chorus of fashion design.

Educated at famed Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo (graduated, 1984);

mentored by designer, Rei Kawakubo (Comme Des Garçons);

in 1993, he launched his own line under the Commed Des Garçon umbrella-

Junya Watanabe Comme Des Garçons.

His menswear and womenswear collections regularly challenge

accepted aesthetic norms with unexpected design interpretives.

 

…

Not without his share of controversy,

his menswear collection for s/s 2016 came under intense

scrutiny, discussion, query:

use of only Caucasian models in preppy dress

and with African inspired textiles / accessories.

Was it willful “cultural appropriation”;

pointed commentary on colonialism-

a bit of both?

Was it singularly a bit of expressed disappointment by fashion-watchers

for the lack of model diversity in the runway representation? –

a bit of all of the above?

 

…

Junya Watanabe

Menswear,  s / s  2016

(images from style.com):

junya watanabe, men s_s  2016 junya watanabe, men s_s  2016

…

For his womenswear collection, a / w 2016

Mr. Watanabe embarked on another design direction:

 

 

Origami inspired folds and pleats

Honeycomb fabric feature

B / W   (black / white colour story)

Sculptural

Compelling headwear

Studded brogues
