The Marlon Gobel Spring/Summer 2015 collection was a fresh take on futuristic fashion design and stunned its stylish audience. The collection was presented during New York Fashion Week and mixed sporty and suited styles together to create a range of surprisingly elegant pairings.

The collection's dapper apparel was cyborg-themed in its visual inspiration and included metal eye-patche and motocross glove accessories. These elements transformed traditional menswear looks into otherworldly ensembles with a militant twist.

The robotic ensembles took the idea of futuristic fashion design to another level and showcased the power of accessories in a runway presentation. While classically elegant in its overall aesthetic, this collection's added accessories defy one's expectations and contribute to its [space-age look and feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects).
