The Philipp Plein 2013 Spring/Summer runway show was a rock show come to life.
The German designer took a literal approach to his runway this season and decorated his models in rock’n’roll regalia. The clothes, accessories and shoes featured studs, zippers and heavy beading. The material varied to mix hard and soft materials and looks. An all-studded ensemble with a bedazzled guitar was followed by a silk beaded number. Plein payed attention to his designs in this S/S collection. For instance, each guitar used as an accessory in the show was hand painted. He understands fusing materials and looks together and believes it is integral to captivating his audience’s attention.
The Philipp Plein 2013 runway show was a rock’n’roll fantasy that was sexy and above all, glamorous.
