BACKCLASH COCKTAIL
The world of menswear continues to diversify. Men are becoming seductive objects to be clothed and looked at like any other consumer.
Rare are the brands that offer something extra, a stylistic and poetic breakthrough. Backlash, aka Isamu Katayama, is one of them. Backlash’s approach to clothing is different.
The Fall/Winter 2012/2013 collection, entitled The Norban Man, captures the world of the Nordic countries. The atmosphere is that of forests and cold. Backlash’s stylistic characteristics are always atypical, with close-fitting jackets, strong lines and a reinterpretation of certain ‘clichés’. Leather is always present, to recall the brand’s special bond with skin. The material, always processed in the traditional way, offers a glimpse of all its possibilities. From riders’ jackets, an omnipresent Backlash piece, to coats in turned-up skin, the man has every choice.
Wool jackets are also very interesting. One is plain, with front pockets of varying sizes. Another, striped, features leather inserts on the collar and pockets.
The pants are made of leather or wool, with a variety of cuts. Straight cut for leather shorts, V Fit for wool suits, etc.
Whatever the case, Backlash offers men a different kind of look, that of a contemporary dandy, liberated from his appearance and definitively tamed.
