A completely different twist to the other AW14 collections I have seen so far. European menswear designer Alex Mattsson has really pushed his imagination to the limits with this collection. The AW14 collection is based on Space and the art that depicts it. Showing basically all black with occasional white graphics this collection is definitely on the darker side. Featuring some cropped tailored trousers and jackets with attached chains it boasts a convict style so this look is not for the faint hearted. Alex Mattsson admits his signature item is his graphic t-shirts and in this collection he has definitely played to his strengths with T-shirts taking on an androgynous look but also including a quirky edge of 3D like graphics that seems to be becoming a reoccurring trend. With graphic T-shirts coming back even bigger than in the 80s, this collection is definitely up to speed with the future styles that we all need to look out for. These designs are particularly suited for someone who wants to step outside the box and be completely unique, even the models take on an extremely urban look with nose piercings and shaved heads. Just as Mattsson says himself, if you wear it well, you’re his ideal client!
