The latest menswear collection from PetrouMan is ethnic-inspired. The brand fuses timeless tailoring and vibrant prints for its Spring 2012 collection. A delicately detailed use of patterns brings structured silhouettes to life and makes utilitarian uniform shapes come alive.
The daring collection is both quirky and wearable. Designer Nicolas Petrou puts emphasis on color with his use of earthy and blue-hued pigments. Memorable pieces from the collection include waistcoats, cropped trousers, sleeveless vests and floor-length masculine tunics. The clean lines of every piece are elevated with the designer's fearless use of print.
A timeless dapper aesthetic is transformed and made current with the collection's contemporary take on loveable classics. The PetrouMan Spring 2012 collection combines modern concepts while taking cues from the past. The end result is eclectic, eccentric and undeniably modern.
