In women's fashion, some people prominently use the Chinese blue and white porcelain elements, while men's fashion does not fall behind. Dolce & Gabbana took inspiration from China for its finale series on the Spring/Summer 09 runway. Whether it was suits, shirts, or robes that came out, they were all adorned with traditional floral, bird, and beast prints. However, the series was in black and white, and the tailoring remained resolutely Westernized. As for Eastern men, they may not necessarily be able to pull off these "eccentric" designs. Why? Because they don't suit them.
When we talk about subdued flamboyance, it is not a derogatory term when placed on the runway. On the contrary, this style is very popular and appeals to both men and women. The most anticipated masters of the subdued flamboyance style are undoubtedly Dolce & Gabbana and Dior Homme, who always stick to slim cuts. Their works not only have design details comparable to women's wear but also possess strong personal styles, captivating a large number of female fans.
Styling TIPS:
Not all patterns are suitable for us to embrace the subdued flamboyance look. Asians' skin tones can easily blend with warm-toned tropical block prints, so it's best to choose fresh color small floral combinations, such as blue, green, white, and yellow. Printed shirts are the safest choice, and a printed sporty jacket will make you look more fashionable.
Other men's fashion patterns, whether small flowers or large ones, are either Monet-style impressionist or Matisse-style fauvism. Instead, the inspiration of exotic trends (also known as ethnic style) has made new breakthroughs. First, we must pay tribute to women's fashion. Due to the overwhelming success of the 08 women's collection, the Spring/Summer 09 men's wear drew inspiration, bringing Islamic geometric patterns, Bohemian dyeing prints, and tropical palm leaves. No wonder American designer darling Philip Lim had to incorporate Muslim-style creativity during New York Fashion Week, pairing it with python skin shoes for an added touch of wildness. And KENZO's Aladdin style gives an even stronger sense of subdued flamboyance.
