@aimeleondore has been killing it lately. A perfect interpretation of how contemporary men are dressing, maintaining tailored and preppy elements, but toning it down for everyday wear.
Although I’m still passionate about true sartorial form and all its nooks and crannies, there has been a shift towards a more fluid, relaxed style. One that does not require you to take suiting to such an extreme, or play by the book on a daily basis and I do believe it to be a good thing. It allows for more flexibility and new approaches that ultimately elevate men’s fashion to new standards.
Carla Fernández Casa de Moda: A Mexican Fashion Manifesto
Now at the Denver Art Museum is the work of fashion designer Carla Fernández who is based in Mexico City. She has created what she calls the Taller Flora mobile laboratory in order to travel around her country and meet with artisans and create with them her clothing line. The curators tell us that the show “explores how the design house links ancient and contemporary techniques.”
You see her in the first photo in one of her own creations and then three of her models in the next photo. The gallery space itself was designed by Pedro Reyes designed the gallery, so that the clothing is part of a larger space with sculpture, architecture, video and photography.
