Contemporary Clean Monochrome
We have seen and heard that monochrome represents a new kind of modern, very hard to pull off as once things start to go into tones of.. then it gets messy.
So stick to pure black and pure whites. But then again how do you get it to a certain level of ‘distinct’? after all, everyone everyday wears black and white, whether its to the office or an evening out.
The selection really speaks for what strand of silk is about, Each product has it’s distinct structure, influence and final finish but fits together to highlight a clean cut message with the help of the geometrical structures and shapes on both the coat and scarf, contrasted with the intricately sensual metallic detailing of the bag. This is a look you can wear from day to night. Just kick off your balenrinas and put on your clean cut heals. And so this brings us to a conclusion: Monochrome is not boring.

Cool Blues with Rajesh Pratap Singh @ Tranoi
As Paris Men’s fashion week comes to a close we went to discover the Rajesh Pratap Singh Autumn/Winter 2013 collection at Tranoi, where all cool things happen.
Tranoi; meaning between us, has brought together a selection of designers worldwide to an event with a happening environment. The atmosphere was buzzing with people exploring the new, nicely complimented with warm colours, cool patterns and buzzing lounge music.
The collection spanned through a palette indigos and denims, faded, washed and bleached, suited to a man of casually unique styled contemporary man. The richness of craft creatively finished and stitched was the star of the Autumn Winter 2013 collection. We found the collection quite well rounded, taking the casually turned out man from day to night.
Hints of a skeletal nature seeped through the collection’s story, leaving traces of ethnicity within the atmosphere. Clean and masculine embellishments were scattered throughout shirts, jackets and pants. Bringing together casual garments to a different level of cool and value.
The accessories fun yet seriously punk, carved out signature skulls, which bring us back to the Now. Click to see our Skull-eton Shirts embroidered by Rajesh Pratap Singh here and here
We are always excited to discover our designers’ innovative techniques and continually evolving signature styles!
