London Men’s Fashion Week SS19 Moodboard The inspirations directly from the catwalks
One of the aims of Fashion Week is to reveal what we are going to wear next season, to tell us how the future will be, at least from an aesthetic point of view.
This time, the designers who presented their collections in London really tried to show us our tomorrow.
The designers found the inspiration in what surrounds them, from art and society to the outlines of a dystopian future, from Xander Zhou with his pregnant models to Martin Miller's eco-underground, characterized by no gender barrier, utilitarianism and the good amount of eccentricity.
A-COLD-WALL opted for a sort of deconstructed brutalism as an interpretation of the way physical spaces can be related to our mental state; Moschino has recalled the vintage atmosphere of the circus; Cottweiler sought Zen meditating in a hippie retreat, Liam Hodges made a trip to Las Vegas; Martine Rose has sewn a love letter to London in the '80s and' 90s; Christopher Raeburn was fascinated by the satellite images of the glaciers that are disappearing.
Whatever style convinces you the most, tomorrow is already written.
