London Collections: Men – Astrid Andersen S/S 2015 collection

Astrid Andersen’s S/S 2015 collection was inspired by Asian culture with kimono-styled material, cut into both traditional and futuristic pieces, with a sports-luxe theme.

Astrid explored the stereotypes of power and tested the limits of masculinity of her collection with some rather risqué and androgynous looks. The clashes of urban culture entwined with Japanese culture were the underlying themes of the collection.

The fluorescent sunset – a tone of orange blended into pink – was uplifting to see on the catwalk for spring/summer 2015. The bold colours and imagery running through the range has chaotic and loud western connotations, yet drawn in a way that offers tranquillity.
