“The whole thing started with two movies…”
Under the creative
guidance of Bernardo Rojo, Joseph Abboud’s SS13 collection (like many others
over the weekend) epitomized the hybridization of sport and formalwear. A mix that
was born from the designer’s inspiration from two American movies from the same
decade; The Sting and North Face. Whilst the former follows the cons of two
dandyish grifters, the latter focuses on climbing the Eiger in Switzerland.
Classic tailoring was updated with
modern materials to offer a relaxed, elegant and sporty aesthetic. Polo necks
were worn beneath double-breasted blazers, whilst open-neck shirts were paired
with ribbed v-neck jumpers; imbuing the collection with a preppy attitude.
Highlights included glossy scarlet and black patent jackets with popped collars
that provided a vivid injection of contemporary cool
