Shown in Paris earlier this year, the Julius Fall Winter 2010 collection presented a vision of post-apocalyptic menswear.
The models for the Julius Fall Winter 2010 line came trussed up in swathes of bandage-inspired leather, with tight chest straps wrapping across the torso and physically restraining the wearer. Sharp silhouettes are updated with bulky utility belts, pockets and trailing leather straps; leather straight jackets were accessorized with long messy hair; and pale gray roll-necks had sleeves that extended to the finger-tips.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Post-apocalyptic Fashion
- Incorporating elements of dystopian or post-apocalyptic styles into fashion designs, including distressed fabrics, unique textures, and imposing accessories.
- Restrictive Clothing
- Designing clothing that features restrictive elements, such as harnesses and straps that limit movement, to create a unique and edgy look.
- Utility Belts
- Designing clothing around the concept of utility belts, adding multiple pockets to enable men to keep a variety of accessories or gear with them while traveling light.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion Design
- Creating new fashion designs that take inspiration from dystopian or post-apocalyptic styles, to separate from traditional fashion norms.
- Leatherworking
- Making use of innovative leatherworking techniques to create unique and edgy pieces, such as leather straight jackets.
- Outdoor Gear
- Designing outdoor gear that incorporates utility belts and multiple pockets to offer users a more practical and functional version of fashion.
