Marosbaran AW18 Collection at Men's Paris Fashion Week
Titled 'The Imperial Phase', the Slovakian fashion designer and artist's AW18 collections focuses on menswear and definition of the paradox
The paradox of using feminine fabrics on masculine clothing such as floral lace on a bomber jacket and hoodie
the delicate plisse pleat in pale yellow on shorts and a hoodie, and winter white on collarless shirts
and the diaphanous tulle in bright red and turquoise
Metallics give a soft sheen to boxer hoodies like molten liquid.
Prints include a bold floral print on coats and short suits, a more subtle paisley jacquard on shorts, trousers and long waistcoat and comic style hero print on leggings.
Edges are frayed on shorts and knitwear

Ernest W. Baker AW18 Collection at Men's Paris Fashion Week
The founder's Grandfather , Ernest W. Baker, and early Detroit ad man, serves as a muse for the brand's identity.
Studying his personal journals from the 70's & 80's were the starting point for the Autumn Winter 18 collection.
A precise consideration for colors and feelings are referenced as an intention is made to create garments that feel as if they were taken from Ernest's closet.
Shades of brown leather, tonal checks and handmade sweaters in a chunky mustard yellow are used in reference to a palette of the 70's,
while the injection of color in purple velvet give a more optimistic feeling of the 80's.
The aesthetic is then taken forward, drawing from the perspective of David Lynch. Inspired from the surrealistic world developed in his "Twin Peaks" series, a link is established between classic European dress and a western American spirit.
Long, oversized coating is an important aspect in the collection, creating a sense of mysteriousness.
John Wayne hats, tuxedo shirts and classic check patterns are a nod to an Americana style,
while the structured blazers, ascots and velvet tailoring are inspired from a classic European elegance.
Although the looks present a pure rigidity, there is a sense of irony in each of them, with an intention to convert the model into an Ernest character playing in the Twin Peaks series.

Blood Brother AW18 menswear at London Fashion Week Men's
For AW18 Blood Brother takes a look into the Instant Win, Instant Lifestyle promised to us
by the National Lottery. - saying IT COULD BE YOU.
Exploring the theme of quick wins and ‘loadsamoney’, Blood Brother looks at the sinister side of immediate excess.
The vulgarity and overindulgence that comes with a huge windfall, blowing it all on monogrammed swimming pools, souped up custom motorbikes and a helipad. Graphic prints continue to be a key feature of the Blood Brother style, featuring scratch cards and player receipts
plus symbols of ostentatious success such as the ‘Hot Tub Club’ and ‘Money Bags’.
Satin suit pieces in retro jewel colours, featuring the ultimate extravagance - a pet tiger, paying homage to the depressing faded opulence of Las Vegas.
Taking inspiration from a lifestyle of excess, the collection references 80’s ski wear, exotic animals and the ultimate ‘new money’ style icons – the gangsters.
Diamond quilted puffas and ski suits in Rolex green and metallic gold, gives a nod to luxury Chesterfield sofas,
whilst oversized ski salopettes and chalet knits in chenille wool complete the apres-ski look.
The theme of garish luxury is realised in animal faux furs and snakeskin prints.
. Repeat print Swarovski crystal embellishment across crisp white denim and luxurious tracksuits reflect the outlook of those with a penchant for life in the fast lane.
For AW18 Blood Brother merges the tracksuit, with tailoring details including bungy cords and a zippable lapel for a sartorial streetwear aesthetic.
Blood Brother updates their popular cross body bag with drawstring pouch detailing and adding larger sizes of ‘stash-cash’ kit bags.
Scarves, hats and socks are in sulphur yellows and knitted golds.
For a second season, Blood Brother has partnered with Cutler & Gross. For FW18, a selection of glasses have been chosen from the archive collection with a focus on vintage frames in translucent and coloured lenses for a retro feel.
Blood Brother have worked exclusively alongside luxury international shoe brand Jimmy Choo, featuring four styles including fur lined slip-ons
black patent leather loafers
Military style boots and soft leather trainers in fresh whites, deep burgundy and black.
