Eclectic Highlander Apparel

The Francis Montesinos Fall/Winter 2013 Collection Eccentric

— March 9, 2013 — Pop Culture
The Francis Montesinos Fall/Winter 2013 menswear collection was showcased during Madrid Fashion Week. The designer's eccentrically styled pieces mixed a variety of different aesthetics while keeping with their underlying Scottish design inspiration.

This runway show was loosely inspired by a traditional highlander aesthetic and featured skirted models who sported pleated kilts that were paired alongside unexpected choices like patterned knits, oversized bomber jackets and patterned silk shirting.

From pattern enriched combinations and hand-made knitwear garments to Western inspired shirting and ornate silks, the eclectically mixed Francis Montesinos Fall/Winter 2013 menswear collection redefined a traditional Scottish highlander style inspiration. The designer transforms the aesthetic, making it edgy and youthful for the next generation of daring fashion followers.
Trend Themes
1. Eclectic Style - Designing clothing with an eclectic mix of traditional, modern and unexpected elements opens opportunities to create unique fashion pieces.
2. New Interpretations of Traditional Styles - Taking inspiration from traditional styles, such as highlander or Western, and adding new elements creates innovative and fresh designs.
3. Gender-fluid Fashion - Breaking gender norms in fashion by incorporating traditionally male clothing items, such as kilts, into menswear collections encourages gender fluidity in the industry.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - This industry can benefit by embracing new styles and exploring the creative opportunities that come from mixing and matching different elements.
2. Textiles - Innovation in textiles production can help designers create unique knitwear garments and patterned fabrics that provide new textures and opportunities for combinations in fashion design.
3. Gender-neutral Clothing - Developing and promoting gender-neutral clothing lines can open up new markets and attract consumers who are interested in breaking gender roles and norms in fashion.
