The Emmy Kasbit brand just released their ‘Disturbia’ SS ‘16 collection. The fast emerging brand is known to go for the unconventional with their styles and cuts. This is no different.
The
collection featured a range of menswear and womenswear lines, which
showcased good amount of colors and a number of unusual details, which
work to set the brand apart.
The offerings
included, suits, blazers, jackets, pants for both men and women.
Although the brand employs certain details to ensure a fresh and modern
look, some aspects of this collection could have been better.
The
first thing that worked was the menswear, especially with the ivory
looking pieces, which came on very strong, with an attention to
tailoring and fitting. The silhouettes were very clean and sharp and the
hemlines looked professionally done. The belting technique was an added
genius.
However, the cuts on
the jacket could have been better thought out. The idea of the
asymmetrical hemlines on the blazers left the pieces looking more uneven
than creative. It takes a lot more effort to overturn the rules of
symmetry and balance to create something individual yet functional.
The
womenswear on the other hand, included a lot of color, which was indeed
fantastic and effective, as colors appeal to the women folk.
The aspects that
could have been better has to do with the tailoring and finish, which
quite honestly kills a lot of designs today. It can be very tricky
working with light textured fabrics, because if they aren’t hemmed or
joined or sewn right, they come off as tacky.
A
little more to the tailoring of the women’s line and it could have been a
much stronger collection. That being said, each designer is entitled to
his/her own individual aesthetic and means of interpretation.
What do you guys think of the collection, let us know below.
