The MC FOOL by Malou Fool Fall/Winter 2013 collection pays tribute to a retro militant menswear aesthetic. Inspired by army aviators, this collection was conceived amidst an eclectic flea market setting. The designer spent her time building a collection of accessories purchased in a Shanghai market and came up with a final product that is both utilitarian and effortlessly elegant.
The MC FOOL by Malou Fool Fall/Winter 2013 collection is entitled “Before flying back” and refers to the moment one experiences before before boarding a plane.
Dressed in oversized silhouettes, models took to the runway stage in a palette of earthy beige, brown, grey, navy and army green tones that were richly paired to evoke both an air of luxury and timeless sophistication.
