I haven't been paying particularly close attention to the menswear shows this season. The most discussed collections inevitably wind up in front of me one way or another, on Tumblr or Facebook, or as tweeted links. But last night I popped over to Style.com to peruse their designer roster and realized I hadn't seen Marni.
I'm kind of a Marni obsessive (for men and women—shoppable on Net-a-Porter and Mr. Porter) and a collection like this is a big part of the reason why. It's conceptual yet applicable; it looks forward while glancing back at a sort-of late-sixties mod retro-futurism. You know? It feels immediately relevant and is more about "style" than "fashion", so you could easily DIY a similar thing or get clever at a thrift store and reverse-engineer the look. A half-tucked dress shirt buttoned all the way up? An apron-front skort thing? And can I get a #fuckyeahbirkenstocks? I could totally wear this right now...and forever, basically.
Photoshop filters are the wurst, but I think the "Crosshatch" effect I used here actually kinda helps in this instance. Maybe? The models are standing on a background by Jacqueline Colley—do yourself a favor and click through to check out her amazeballs body of work. She also has a great Tumblr. Which collections have been your favorites so far? Are you trolling Style.com every day?
