American Thugs Invade The Carven Fall 2014 Show

 

 

Guillaume Henry injected some mood into his arty and calm aesthetic for fall 2014. The French designer striped away ornamentation and looked to vintage mug shots for inspiration. A lineup of bare, rough and sexy threads was the result. The American thug theme effortlessly flowed through the entire collection of mostly black basics, subtle dashes of velvet accents, coal-colored washed denim jackets and patent-leather lace-ups. Although more coarse then past seasons, the Carven aesthetic was still firmly in place – collars were slightly exaggerated and a retro-flavored flare was quite prevalent. My personal favorite item was the boxy biker jacket in checkered tweed sprouted sleeves in pebbled black leather. Who said plaid isn’t badass?
