In Europe, the home of fashion, Men's Fashion Week will be held one after another, starting with London on Friday, June 9, followed by Milan and Paris, attracting industry professionals and models from all over the world to experience the latest trends firsthand. Looking at the list of runway dates announced, we are reminded once again that many of the brands are from Japanese designers.
Araji Yanagawa's work.JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVANThe "I'm a fashionista" is one of them. Here is the 2018 SS collection presented during the London Collections. Here is a selection of photos.
John Lawrence Sullivan's signature wide shoulders and shiny textures using satin and other materials are still present in this collection. The techno-like atmosphere is still there as ever. The printed text shows that the German influence, which was the source of last season's creations, seems to extend to this season as well.
The music element has been consistently incorporated into the collection up to now. The current collection is heavily influenced by post-punk and cold wave music that flourished in the late 70s and early 80s. However, even though sharp and dark images can be seen everywhere, there are few gloomy images, and here we can see the strange coloring that maintains a balance between yin and yang. As for the items, the super-long yet well-proportioned pants are particularly outstanding. The vivid pink and purple hoodies are also brand new.
As with previous John Lawrence Sullivan collections, there is no sense of trend-conscious marketing. It is no wonder that John Lawrence Sullivan has such an ardent fan base, considering the brand's consistent philosophy. We look forward to news from the ongoing Paris Fashion Week!
