Mixing a concept of modern minimalism with an aesthetic of past era ornamentation, the designer put on an eccentrically elegant runway presentation that embraced embellishment without being over-the-top.

This memorable menswear line proves to be as powerful when dissected as it is as a collective unit. With a focus on impeccable design details, the Valentim Quaresma Fall/Winter 2013 menswear collection exudes a powerful warrior aesthetic with its sculptural sleeve details and its metallic body chain accessories. The designer experiments with a wide range of material combinations and showcases leather, copper and hair constructed pieces.
