Last Thursday, Gaspard Yurkievich gave us an appointment in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, at the Maison des Métallos, to present us his summer 2011 collection: a reflection between tayloring and casual.
In front of an assembly composed of a few people with styles
of the most
s extravagant, the French designer unveiled a collection all in calm and serenity honoring the mineral and matte tones
such as the s
pebbles, eroded stones and lichen. The threadlike silhouettes follow one another,
carried by
a musical composition by Dani Siciliano
. The equation developed by Garspard Yurkievich could not be clearer: a subtle mix between the casual and the suit. Whether you’re going to a party or trekking, the elegance of next summer’s men’s wardrobe will lie in the harmony between city style and casual style.
For
o do this, shorts with large pockets, from which other shorts are too long, are worn with fitted jackets and transparent shirts, giving charm and sensuality.
and sheer shirts that give charm and sensuality to the silhouette.
to the silhouette.
If not by the game of lengths, this mixture of styles is impeccably suggested to us by surprising associations. Advocating alook « The jackets become patchworks of different materials, colors and fabrics. As for the suit, it is revisited thanks to the « tie-dye blue » with the effects of worn jeans, which becomes a color in its own right, and seems to give this garment, which is sometimes far too perfect or even strict, a semblance of soul, « a history of its own ».
« In aged leather or washed canvas, the accessories made by Gaspard Yurkievich for Eastpak have undergone the irreversible effects of time and thus bear the mark of experience. With an array of bags, satchels, pouches, fanny packs and luggage that will satisfy both the little travelers and the most avid escapee, he infuses this collection with that « desire for mobility ». So, whether you feel like a real backpacker or a city dweller ready to travel a few kilometers during your weekends, don’t miss this invitation to travel that Gaspard Yurkievich offers us here.
