The Katie Eary Spring/Summer 2015 menswear collection took to the runway stage during London Collections: Men and stunned the designer's fans with its Southwestern prints and patched denim details.
Reviving 70s era styling, this menswear line fuses psychedelic, rock-and-roll and Western inspirations together to create a line of wearable statement pieces.
The Katie Eary Spring/Summer 2015 collection is definitive of the designer's signature aesthetic, one filled with vibrant prints and youthful styling. Unlike her past showings, this presentation relies on more fitted silhouettes and does not feature much athleticwear.
While the designer's prints are still very vivid and bold, she pairs them with neutral denims and no longer opts for the same pattern-clashing combinations seen in past season shows.
