A/W 13/14: Vive La Revolution : Liberty leading the people, Fashion Frees the man

Power. Rebellion and Romance. Based on the French revolution and the Napoleonic era, focusing on the sartorial decadence and rich splendour of French warfare. Exploring both the tailored aspect and the dramatic landscape portrayed by French Romantic painters, such as De La Croix and Félix Philippoteaux, which were used as inspiration for statement print ideas. Incorporating soft luxurious fabrics and a sumptuous use of printed velvets juxtaposed against sharp, ultra-masculine, military silhouettes. A dramatic, colourful scene of the modern tailored man.
