Inspired by the Batman and Bruce Wayne alter egos, this collection had all the looks needed to be both a crime fighter to a playboy billionaire. The colors that were used in this collection are both formal and on the contemporary side. Using blacks, grays, blues, reds, and creams they created a modern feel with classic designs. We get to see the mix between Bruce Wayne and Batman with a gray neoprene and cotton Shetland style crew neck sweater which had a Two-Face inspired design that included Batman with a distorted Bruce Wayne face print. For Batman’s look there were various sporty style jackets and overcoats made with neoprene fabric giving him the comfort and ease to switch into his Dark Knight suit when needed. But in-case there was no need, those coats had dual silver zippers to give him a sense of style when not fighting crime. The Bruce Wayne counterpart on the other hand is a billionaire playboy with a distinct sense of style. He wears classic and timeless articles of clothing made from luxury fabrics. His style would include clothes like a gray two piece Prince of Wales pattern suit and various mohair sweaters.
The sweaters in this collection are what any modern classic style should incorporate. A colored mohair sweater with a pattern to distinguish it from all the other stale colored items. An essential part of being an individual and showing your style. This was done by having a teal mohair turtleneck sweater with red stripe patterns to exemplify the trendy side of luxury. The same can also be said for the red turtleneck mohair sweater with navy blue stripe patterns. What made the collection different was that most of the designs that had the Prince of Wales patterns had parts of the pattern stretched out diagonally and distorted to give a 3D feel to the clothing. That feeling was also felt because whenever that color theme and pattern hit the runway the background video screen had that same pattern visualized by the music’s changing amplitude patterns. Combining classic design patterns with music is a unique approach when redesigning clothes with amplitude spikes stretching across and distorting the pattern to create a new look. One might have to look for a bit longer to realize what was happening with the design but as it is said “a picture is worth a thousand words” which still might not be enough to appreciate this unique design.
