A designer's inspiration is important because it effects their final product and it reveals a story of how it came to fruition; that's what makes the GPPR Spring 2011 collection so intriguing.
The GPPR Spring 2011 collection's lookbook is entitled 'Last Gang in the Town.' The brand received much of its influence from rebellion and youth subcultures which became the focal point in the new line. The clothes were designed for the "renaissance man; the chivalrous and proper Gentleman; the progressive and probing Philosopher; the indulgent and excessive Pervert; the subversive and defiant Rebel," according to the company.
The outfits from the line includes short sleeve polos, graphic shirts, jeans, khakis, as well as sunglasses, bags and hats for accessories. With such unique inspirational points, it'd be interesting to see what else GPPR will come up with.
