PATH

E-mail Designer
The SS' 12 collection, called 'Ideal Disorder' is inspired by the german BAUHAUS style as one of the most influential currents in modernist architucture and design. It stands for radically simplified forms, the rationality and functionality. All this reflect the new collection. Clean and contemporary, minimalistic design combined with innovative materials. The new collection is defined as minimal yet luxurious with an element of flow and effortless comfort. It pushes borders further away by creating an innovative masculine wardrobe as a new genre for men. The colour palette of the SS 2012 collection sways from black to an eye-catching black and white graphical print, from light grey to a sunny yellow and back to black. The combination of the print with interesting and visionary cuts has a real stand out. Transparent light material meets contrasting technical fabrics. The use of fine light cotton, silk/viscose blend as well as very fine cashmere wool let PATH appear as a transcendline between avant-garde and wearable fashion.

SOFT BUT CONSTRUCTED,
MINIMAL BUT BOLD.
PATH is a new menswear label and the creation of the german fashion designer Janine Grosche. PATH was launched the end of 2010 and is based in Beijing, China.
'STATIC FACILENESS', the debut collection for spring summer 2011 already shows an unmistakable handwriting.
The design is characterized by conteporary minimalism, radical modernism and nonchalant elegance.
PATH creates an archetype of a modern man.
Sheer light fabric meets contasting material, pursuing a new masculinity. Silhouettes of powerfull shapes and volumes are delicate with simplicity. A certain fragility comes together with clean lines.
Based on a monochrome palette of shades from grey to black, PATH explores proportions of varying lengths, perfect for layering.
PATH trancends the line between avant- garde and wearable fashion.
"The PATH collection is made for men with a certain sensibility, it is subtle, not loud. The idea was to make it pure and simple with an avant-garde twist. In ‘Static Facileness’ I wanted to create a very modern and sensitive menswear collection which expressed my interpretation of contemporary masculinity mixed with femininity through soft silhouettes. The collection is characterised by the flexibility of the material, sheer fabrics and androgynous masculine cuts. It breaks codes of gender by questioning certain cliches in our society and the way we think about menswear. PATH pushes bordes further away by creating minimalistic and sensitive fashion as a new genre for men."
