Army of Me Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam SS16
When Daniel Wahlberg and Richard Sjöblom from Stockholm started their own fashion brand Army of Me back in 2008 their mission was clear and simple; bringing something different to the fashion table. Combining classic designs from the west with avant garde fashion from the east’, has been the label’s motto ever since. At today’s show the two bearded designers didn’t fail to deliver. An exotic army of tough and toned models rocking black leather boots (or just sandals finished with heavy black duck tape all around when they ran out of boots?) and futuristic sunglasses strutted the afternoon runway show wearing anything but typical Dutch menswear. Long tops (fully buttoned shirts, slightly sheer tanktops, denim zipped jackets, cardigans and leather jackets) and a monochrome color palette seemed to be their winning formula. Black eye make-up, harnesses and leather gloves added to the toughness of the models as the designerduo left no chance untapped to focus on the models’ physique. Completely in style, dressed like their brand’s ideal customers, they took their bow.
