The John Richmond Spring Summer 2014 menswear collection features a stunning mix of tailored garments with raw tribal influences. The gorgeous collection was recently marched down the runway at Milan Fashion Week by models walking to the beat of tribal drums and Depeche Mode, a is a fitting way to communicates the collision of these two influences.
Basic black and white garments are punched up by styling them with electric neon colors and modernized African-inspired geometric prints and masks. One of the most stunning pieces from the collection is a bold orange-colored leather jacket with an intricate laser-cut pattern on it, reminiscent of a basket weave. The collection is made for men who can embody the ferocity of the wild while living and working in an urban city.
