Abasi Rosborough, a New York-based fashion label unveiled its 2016 Spring/Summer 'MONOLITH' collection recently, which features vibrant colors, unconventional cuts and prints, as well as a few different versions of eye-catching metallic clothing.
While all of the pieces draw from popular men's styles, there's not much about the MONOLITH collection that's traditional. Even when taking inspiration from pieces outside the brand and maintaining a minimalist aesthetic, Abasi Rosborough manages to imbue each piece with a sense of diversity.
This is achieved through utilizing elaborate structures that give its wearer an instant sense of power, as does it use of lesser-seen material choices. The metallic clothing within the collection is probably the best example of this, which is included on bronze zippered jackets and basketball-inspired shorts to silvery pants and button-ups.
