This is a scene that would be happy with everyone who is old enough to remember. (I would be.) Alan Balletshofer, the Wunderkind, based in Berlin whose youth his ability to make very mature clothing with his men’s clothing label Balletshofer, put his show in an electric blue and silver coffee bar-cum-dining piper Kiosk, with a Few models that work as baristas. In front of the bar, café tables and chairs were set up for the public to sit, relax, drink a coffee and perhaps take the time to browse the paper instead of scrolling on the phone on the phone. (Sigh. Do you remember those days? I do. Everything we can do today is Doom Scroll.)
Or as an alternative, the audience could have viewed the Balletshofer show. He sent a very good series of shiny faux leather kites jackets, with facial framing fake fur collars; Minimalist fit with high neck as black as a nitro cold brew; and gray oversjacks whose attachments with a single breasts were once so crooked, worn over a combination of fresh white shirts and black tires that looked a part of kraft work, part American Psycho. To manage his surroundings, Balletshofer worked together with the valued local newspaper Berliner Zeitung, which printed copies of the paper with one of the looks from the new collection; That is a way to make the news. (And for his lookbook for the collection, Balletshofer shot it up Berliner Zeitung‘s Drukkerij.)
It was a smart and fun idea: witty, smart, inventive. But Balletshofer went better and it is an idea that is so damn and effective that you have to wonder why no one else did it. (Maybe a brand will now, let’s look.) Strictly work of a wardrobe of a dozen look-in addition to the aforementioned, including baseball jackets, two-lace-suits consisting of shirting and slouchy-like pants and Buffalo Plaid flanel blousons; A series of clothing for day to night, casual to formal, and much of it worn with blue-riding Timberland shoes, his second collaboration with the brand-balletshofer sent each look from several times, on different models, to underline how clothing can read differently like You switch who wears them and the posture and style with which they are worn.
It worked, and it worked well because in their choreographed movement – sometimes a relaxed walk, other times faster than a chaotic Berlin (or even New York) minute – the multitude of boys who did Balletshofer’s clothing, they felt real and tangible And feel tangible and, the best of all, portable. It would have been even more impact if the diversity of people in clothing had expanded themselves to boys of different ages and physique. Yet the collection meals remain the same here: Balletshofer has great instincts about what boys might want to wear today – and the Smarts to know how to convey that in an original and unique way.
