Camiel Fortgens Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA FW2015

Last summer Camiel Fortgens graduated at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. For today’s show he expanded his graduation collection KNOWN based on fashion classics like a pair of jeans and the white T-shirt. As a form of criticism against the contemporary cut-copy-paste generation Camiel decided to take a step back. Back to who we really are. Who or what is a man in our globalized, urban society? It turned out to be a man dressed in archetypical clothing. White tees to start with; stiff pants, jackets, coats and sleeveless tops to make them stand out. All made in the most basic and simplistic manner; stitches on the outside and never really with proper fit. They did stand for something though and made up for a strong looking selection nevertheless. There might not be a lot of men copy pasting these designs into their wardrobe. Still, the young designer and trend forecaster made his point trying to bring recognition back into the fashion world.
