The collection was presented during New York Fashion Week and mixed sporty and suited styles together to create a range of surprisingly elegant pairings.

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.
