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.

POAN - PEOPLES OF ALL NATIONS SS18 at Milan Fashion Week

Sartorial expert, visionary and all-round whimsical fellow, POAN designer Georg Weissacher brings his very own utopian philosophy to Milan with his latest collection ‘The Phenomenon of Man’

Taking inspiration from the widely critiqued book ‘The Phenomenon of Man’ by French philosopher, biologist and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Weissacher’s latest creation encompasses the thoughts of a visionary and vitalist, considering historical roots, the future and technology.

His theories are considered to be the theoretical base of the advent and progression of the Internet. With philanthropy at its heart, this latest collection from Weissacher combines clever juxtapositions of raw elements such as earthy printed motifs, which clash into electrical components.

Shapes are clean and sharp across suiting

 but equally across jackets represent the duration of life, where things are used and lived in.

With a direct reference to de Chardin and the Vatican as wonderfully shown in Sorrentino´s direction for the HBO Series of the Young Pope, Weissacher’s creation takes a celestial silhouette with clerical elements taking pride of place across hats and belts.

In addition an Italian flair has been included through both aesthetics and Made In Italy production, with the majority of fabrics being in wool and cottons and linen.

 Weissacher’s S/S18 collection delivers a set of ideas that aims to lift us through story telling in a high level of style, that draws on the past and projects us into a new dimension of multi-cultural hints, never forgetting the approach of a tailor, where knitwear techniques coexist with sporty like ensembles.

Gender fluid silhouettes, oversize shapes, clashing prints and futuristic gear will create the POAN look.

 Weissacher tries to embody the collection with a message that transcends the actual product, by thinking big about all of humanity - POAN stands for PEOPLES OF ALL NATIONS - while facing personal tasks with greater clarity and force.

 Diversity being the key to today’s happiness.

 Tweeded, soft fabrics generously pervade the collection in elongated overcoat silhouettes, knitwear and tailoring.

Technological outerwear, featuring rubberized thermo welded rain macs and laser cut metallic kagools, plays a signature role while harmoniously colliding with chunky sweaters and cosy knitwear.

Graphic, soft tweeded trousers are paired with knitted ankle warmers, merino wool sheepskin trekking boots and backpacks, paving the way for a new era in urban dressing.

 Z ZEGNA advances its research into wearable technology with this season’s exclusive “Icon Warmer”, presented for the first time in a tailored interpretation, always using transformational technology in a unique integrated wireless heating support system.

 Overall the Z ZEGNA pentagon graphically interfuses within the collection, which also features the iconic “Techmerino”.
