Paris Men's Fashion Week - Songzio F/W 2014 // Street Style

Right after Kenzo, I went to see Songzio's fashion show at avenue de wagram that located just a few kilometers from Champs Elysées. Just scroll down to see the pictures that I managed to take during the show, my thought about the collection and some street style photos at Juun. J's show ;)

"The autumn-winter collection is inspired by the roughness of the rock in nature, Songzio expresses its image in his own touch and interpreted the grandeur of rock, rough surface, sense of relief contemporarily in Songzio's painting work."

So, right after I finished watching the show, I guess black is still the new black for Songzio's autumn-winter 2014 collection, well with a little touch of gold and silver of course. I can see that Songzio has indeed stepped forward to a new level of expressions by showing the tough image with a three-dimensional visual effects on textured print in this collection. However, my eyes are set on the blue sweatshirt that enhanced by a little splash-like yellow and green colors, I just can't wait for it to be in store (on webstore)!

A few days back, I went to Palais de Tokyo, outside Juun. J's fashion show to capture some pictures of stylish people that caught my eyes including Big Bang's GDYB and the cool supermodel Soo Joo, enjoy ;)

Paris Men's Fashion Week - Kenzo F/W 2014

Woke up early in the morning to attend Kenzo's show on January 18 and totally blown away by the fall/winter collection. As you know, Kenzo is one of my all time favorite brands and of course you know my love towards mens fashion is undeniable. As it was my first time attending men's fashion show, I gotta say the vibe and the setting are really different compared to women's. Just scroll down if you don't know what I'm talking about. Apologize for the not-that-nice pictures taken with my humble camera.

"We considered the quintessenial man's wardrobe from an altered perspective. We directed our gaze to America's Northwest and focused on how perceived classic elements could be broken and reinterpreted. An effort in opposites attract where the familiar is twisted. The collection is bold, precise in its considered mixing of textures, proportions and shapes. Everyday tailoring is distinguished yet distorted and what appears as the norm is reflected in an unconventional light."

How creative can these two designers are. Who would have thought about using factory worker's tool creatures as an inspiration? Not only that, from what I read, the accessories are industrial and surface as elements from a steelworkers uniform. Safety boots anchor the chopped up silhouette.The tool creature bracelets adorn workers wrists while spanner and nuts are pinned to down jackets. I am just wowed, this is why I love Kenzo so much, the creativity and the idea of the designers are just beyond our imagination. I just want to say thank you Kenzo so much for providing me the invitation and letting me witness this awesome show, I can't ask for more.
