If this is what the Fashion of the Future is going to look like, I say, Bring It! Alexis Martial at Iceberg is truly thinking about Fashion and Futurism in New and Exciting ways and not simple paying Lip Service to the Idea of what Futuristic Modernity will look like. Martial is Earnestly Exploring the concept that The future will not be Anodyne or Lifeless, But it will be Utilitarian, Fast, Sharp, Everything Superfluous Stripped bare. Does that mean there will be no Personality to clothing? Hardly. In Martial's World there will be Detail and Personality and yes, Even Decadence, but Calibrated to Modern definitions, Not for Extraneous ones.
Martial started by showing off his Tailoring skills with some Fine Asymmetrically Fastened off to the side pieces in a Taupe Neoprene backed material and were Giving much soft structure in everything from a Pantsuit to open to a Sleeveless coat to a Brief Mini, all were paired with the ribbed Wrap-Over Turtleneck Sweater with Chick Yellow Fur trim. From there Martial offered an Abundance of Street Ready, City Tough options to keep a Woman Armored for whatever Winter and The Urban Jungle has to offer.
Skinny Pants, Little Mixed Media skirts that combined Pleated fabric in one colour, usually embellished in some way show through a wide Gap in the middle of another fabric that comprised most of the skirt, Tough, Warrior Coats, Thick but Fluid Sweaters... On and On Martial gave Options Galore in his Smartly Brief Edit. Look 28 is of particular mention, a Rib-Knit Sweater dress with that Same Asymmetric Fastener on the Faux wrap skirt of the dress... It was a New twist on an old classic and made Futuristic. Interesting too, Those pieces in the Ending passage of Silver Metal Laminated Knit that looked like Crumpled up Aluminum Foil, Startlingly Brilliant!
This was one of the best shows of the season and Martial has such a bright future ahead of him designing for the Future. If he keeps whipping up Awesome Stuff like this, he'll find himself a Success sooner than he may be ready for. Get Ready for your Close Up, Alexis Martial!
That's All.
Bye4Now!
