Exciting times lay ahead for men’s fashion! More and more young designers commit themselves to enriching the male fashion scene and it’s with great pleasure that we witness this change of pace and scenery. Out of this abundance of fresh creatives, grasped our attention with his volcanic Spring/Summer 2013 collection.
As Marc likes to put it, his work is his own way of processing all the external stimuli he is exposed to every single day. Through fashion, he can express all his fervent ideas about life, art, people; it’s his medium to dialogue with the world, exchange ideas and build something together with others. Drawing inspiration from other artistic fields, such as cinema, photography, music, theatre, he managed to develop a unique vision and style; his pieces embody the whole of his ever-changing unconventional reality and oh boy, it’s intriguing!
Following a minimalistic approach, the artist gently guides the viewers in his magical realm. With each collection he reveals more and more of an elegant, luxurious simplicity; his signature style can be labeled as refined, yet, chic and a tad futuristic. This collection is completely true to his personal aesthetic and makes a strong visual statement. Simple, exhibiting clean cuts and well-defined shapes, it gracefully enhances the wearer’s features and adds a twist of mystery. The details are the ones to mildly spice things up: hidden pockets, no zippers, Russian collars.
The color palette was carefully chosen, so as to turn the collection into a cohesive, powerfully seductive definition of masculinity. Dark grey, cement, steel nuances complement the structural shapes and the tight-fitting jackets. Warmer greens and lighter shades of grey provide a subtle note of delicacy and comfort, while the splash of acid orange makes for a fantastic final touch! This provides the collection with a ludic, playful type of sensuality.
