General Idea's cutting-edge intersection of conventional
menswear and utilitarian streetwear is infused with an athletic feel inside the
Fall / Winter 2012 collection.
Korean dressmaker Bumsuk Choi's iconic menswear takes notion
for the season. Archival pictures of hockey players, in particular teams
competing within the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France. Referencing the
sleek mid-century male silhouettes seen through a modern-day eye, Choi's
pursuit of innovation interprets into awesome layers, a strong shade palette,
and striking fabrications.
The transformation between sports uniforms and everyday
ready-to-wear is at the starting place of the collection's subject matter,
entitled “After Games”.
The use of a similar
layout feature in sports activities uniforms over outerwear, costumes, and
dividers strains the "after video games" influence.
Trousers with kneepad details, parkas accented with quilted
fabric and a varsity jacket with toggle buttons are key portions that exemplify
the gathering's on hand yet precise technique.
Earthy colorings including olive inexperienced, beige,
burgundy and darkish orange balance the dark navy blue that
highlights the gathering as a base shade. The footwear of the season include
refreshing variations of tough and flexible cold weather boots from the
gathering of the equal name, in addition to a overall performance sneaker in
collaboration with Head.
Finding protection from the factors in sensible,
but subtly athletic
info unites the Fall / Winter 2012 collection. Bumsuk Choi's stimulated and
instinctive take on a reinterpretation of conventional menswear.
