Cocooned coats, expressive cutouts and masked fashions graced the PortugalFashion stage during the Sotrytailors presentation for Fall/Winter 2015. The menswear range was designed by creative duo João Branco and Luís Sanchez who experimented with the idea of urban camouflage this season.
While minimalist and understated staples have been ruling international runways for a few seasons now, the industry is experiencing the return of expressive prints, textile manipulations and wearable art runways that aim to revive fashion's element of fantasy and artistry.
The latest Storytailors presentation is one of them and pushes style boundaries with its masked fashions and elegantly textured garments. The range is designed for urban dwellers and explores the idea of complex and eye-catching clothing that is actually designed to keep one anonymous.
