The SixLee X Lee Marshall Fall/Winter 2015 catalog boasts a mix of conceptual artwork and elegant menswear staples. The Hong Kong-based designer and the London-based abstract artist team up for a lookbook that is both visually striking and creative.

Borrowing from surrealists like Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte, the two creative forces bring the inspiration behind SixLee's collection to life. Following the philosophy “We’re all searching for meaning," the Fall/Winter 2015 collection blends [cocooned coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) -- garments that marry aesthetics with function flawlessly -- with practical pieces like structured blazers, khaki pants and wide-legged trousers that offer more comfort than more fitted bottoms.

Featuring a series of dynamic model poses, this lookbook blends elegant menswear staples with conceptual artwork that acts as the catalog's backdrop. Overall, the composition is made up of multidimensional forms that are layred in a collage-like format.
