This season Marc Jacobs is revisiting his skater days. His new collection for Spring Summer 2013 also continues his collaboration with the New York street artist Bast this time round Bast has been inspired by paisley and supermarket posters, he has even created a limited edition skate deck for the collection.For the not so adventurous the collection also offers bright shirting and wool suiting in simple proportions and easy fits.
Rick Owens SS13 show titled Island was inspired by the thought of every man as an island, with his own rules and mortality formulating a sense of anacharcy and rebellion which is shown throughout the dark and mysterious collection.
With a combination of loose, formless garments, tailored blazers and trousers, Rick Owens has presented looks that merged the border between formal and informal wear. Simplistic garments paired with bold accessories create a fresh and innovative look, whilst monochrome detailing throughout the collection shaped a sense of formation around the show.
Rectangular, large block printed details were introduced in a variation of neutral tones and shades. Owens fascination with symmetrical lines and shapes was inspired by his wife Michelle, Without her, I'd be so rigid, I'd be a stick. Overall the whole collection from Rick Owens Island has been regarded as new and exciting for the American designer and defiantly desirable to the eye.
