PORTS 1961 Menswear Spring Summer 2018

The spring-summer Ports 1961 menswear collection is a celebration of diversity, strength and optimism.

 Fashion reflects the world around us. In a time of challenge, fear and disillusion, it is the creative person's role to try to deliver a message of love and hope.

 For the past several seasons, Milan Vukmirovic has been exploring the urgency of love and the importance of fraternity, unity and solidarity.

 Inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat’s work and personal style, African cool-setters and the hip-hop scene in New York in the early Eighties, Milan Vukmirovic presents an upbeat collection with a very positive message.

Brimming with color and meaning, this collection is a window that opens to the world and defends the richness of difference.

 This season, Ports 1961 draws in equal measures on street culture, contemporary dress and local artisans.

 Embroidery and prints point to far horizons.

 This collection is, in its own way, a message of solidarity for the Black Lives Matter movement that began in the street and on social media in 2012.

 The fight against violence and for justice for black people resonates today in an even wider, bigger way.
 Now, more than ever, EVERY LIFE MATTERS. EVERY COLOR MATTERS

 ONLY LOVE MATTERS.

The word “love” is the same in traditional Chinese and Japanese characters.

For the Ports 1961 fall-winter 2017-2018 collection, Milan Vukmirovic also prints “love” in English, Arabic, French and Russian on sportswear hoodies.

Not only is this collection younger than in past seasons, it is also more minimalist. Informed by the artistic director’s early years — the early Nineties, the energy of the London scene, and the music and images of a time when the idea of a new century elicited excitement and a hint of apprehension — it also reflects the lightning changes in today’s world.

 Ports 1961 men are armed for whatever the day brings.

In the city, they sport protective clothing inspired by urban work wear. Reflective bands stripe parkas borrowed from construction sites,

Bombers are reversible, coats have slit sleeves and trousers are piped,

 Sweaters are chunky, hoods removable and shirtfronts quilted.

Blousons are studded with buckles and harness straps,

 The cuts are clean, ample, transformable and efficient. The wardrobe is assertive, right down to its colors. Two-toned silhouettes, blocked in contrasting shades of black, grey and white.

 Plus pops of  orange , yellow and red, which infuse the collection with buoyant energy.

Stripes give the collection its tempo.

There’s also the camouflage print motif Milan Vukmirovic has loved forever.

 Otherwise, materials are primarily sober, solid and thick, often with raw edging. Robust cotton canvas, deep diagonal twills, dense fleece and real nylon underscore the virility of this chic sportswear offering.

But for all its masculinity, the collection has lots of charm and heart. The white shirt – a house icon – is embellished with strategically placed red embroidery representing that vital organ, which sits precisely over the breast of young love warriors in search of emotional rescue.
