The Richard Chai Love 2014 fashions have a dark, grungy vibe to them, but the 90s style is given a fresh new take. One of the most staple parts of a good grunge look is plaid and for the 2014 collection, plaids were created with mohair instead of fabric, which created a hazy effect. Other prints in the collection were similarly altered with pleats and a few looks fully embrace this effect from head-to-toe.
The coloring of the garments for men and women is murky, but this is totally in keeping with the grungy theme. Coloring focuses on deep moody blues, burgundies, black and sombre neutrals, although there are some hints of a refreshingly bright Radiant Orchid-like purple near the show’s finale.
