Lidija Kolovrat's Fall/Winter 2016 collection was unveiled at ModaLisboa earlier this week and featured a mix of urban and nomadic undertones. Featuring standouts like draped tunics, knitted capes and oversized coats, the collection was designed with young urbanites in mind.
In addition to embodying an air of comfort, the Lidija Kolovrat menswear range was also designed to withstand the elements of winter. The designer dressed models in a fresh take on nomadic apparel, pairing oversized and draped staples with geometric face paint and paint-topped hairstyles.
This runway presentation's subtle take on war paint is reflective of a growing fad in the realm of masculine beauty. In addition to embracing sophisticated skincare and grooming products, modern consumers are responding to gender-neutral fashions while experimenting with cosmetics more than ever before.
