Ready To Wear 2018 Runway Denim Collection Part – IV

Sandeep Agarwal — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 04:22:10 +0000

This is the fourth and final part of the Ready to Wear 2018 denim collection from some of the important labels around the world. In this part , we bring the looks from A.P.C , Tom Ford and Stella McCartney . APC , as always , focuses on the Raw denims and brings special looks for the females. A predominantly male brand, A.P.C is now trying to appeal to the fairer sex with long coats and short jackets in raw denims. They also bring paint splattered jeans which are not a trademark of the brand. Stella McCartney goes very casual with overalls , coats and jackets in spring colors achieved by multi process washing including overdyeds. Tom Ford uses unwashed denims and use styling to create a visually appealing collection of complete double, triple (and more..) denim dresses for females. Unwashed denims with great lustre and fall have been used by the designer to get attractive looks for females – even getting bras, shoes and purses with the same fabric. The challenge is for the mills to create fabrics which can enable create such collections by the designers like him.

After the Part 1 of the Fall 16 for the women, we bring the Part 2 covering the Men’s denim by some of the known and some not so known labels. However, each of them adds his own unique perspective to the AW season.

Junya Watanabe

Junya Watanabe’s well known denim collections which are most of the times bringing maximum with minimum design are always looked for . The military inspiration could be reflected in the uppers but he added his own elements -including solar panels ! His patched and distressed jeans did blend well with modern coats and shirts.

Ann Demeulemeester

Not truely denim but very denimish coat could be an inspiration for the community. Very hairish and winterish !

Antonio Marras

Texas inspiration clearly reflected in the designs of Antonio Marras. Bit cartoonish and coarse – but denim was never sophisticated !

Balmain

Balmain designs are always standing out – whether you like them or not. The designs were set back in the time of princely yesteryears.

Belstaff

For those looking for denim for very low temperatures may think of checking out the Belstaff !

Brunello Cucinelli

The clothes looked appealing to an ageless audience which favors comfort and a sporty touch with elegantly ripped denims, cashmere jogging-inspired pants, and softly tailored pants for more formal occasions. A natural palette of earth tones, grays, and blues added a touch of distinctive character to a look with a versatile modern attitude.

ComaComme des Garçons Shirt

The Japanese brand plays around with a new take on 2 dimensions of the shirts and combines them with some patchy baggyish jeans for that super cool and casual looks.

Calvin Klein Collection

Zucchelli transformed denim into a jacquard, painstakingly woven in an illusion of daily wear and tear, making the everyday precious. The wear and tear here is rich and golden !

Louis Vuitton

Kim Jones , the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s men’s collections wrote “VolezVoguezVoyagez” in a ribbony print, the title of the Vuitton retrospective currently packing them in at Paris’s Grand Palais on his denim jackets. His work is an ongoing conversation between now and then—tugging motifs and ideas from past and trying to integrate them into the future. The denim long coats and jackets were all in greys !

Roberto Cavalli

Ever the most entertaining designer, Cavalli comes out with some outlandish embroideries on the denims . But despite it , the clothes show his huge attention to detail in many ways.
