natalie: Plein Warriors | Milan Fashion Week Fall 2015

The controversial German designer Philipp Plein lived up to his extravagant label by producing an incredible show last Saturday (17th January) at Milan Fashion Week. Plain pinned his show last Saturday around around a cage fight set, along with the live performance of Snoop Dogg. Controversial in relation to other Milan Fashion Week shows; most of which are classic, sophisticated and sleek in terms of menswear. - Thats exactly why I love Plein's individuality,

(If you haven't already seen the show, I have attached a video below.) Snoops Dogg was sporting a grey hoodie and sweat pants designed by the 36 year old Plein as he performed in a boxing ring alongside two 'fighters'. The models emerged from the mouth of a giant tigers head, defined in geometric vectors with eyes that projected beams of light. The models then circled the cage showing off Plein's strong designs! Tag lines such as "Plein Warriors" "Bigger Better Stronger" "Unstoppable" and "Drop it like its hot" were plastered over social media, following these strong silhouttes. Moreover; the strong textures, horned helmets and cyborg style six packs were emulating the message of these street style warriors.

Overshadowing Versaces previous show, Plein shocked the Press, known for being a 'bad boy' in fashion, the press and critics are known for turning up their noses at his shows! (With previous shows featuring all black cast of models in Spring 2014 and not forgetting hiring a stressed lined Lohan to star in his ad). However, I find his personal style and carefree attitude admirable. He doesn't care what the press think, recently stating, "We are selling... I am a customer boy, I am not here to please press!"

The micro-trends emerging from Philipp Plein's Fall 2015 collection is surely to be the popular sports-to-streetwear that has been pumped to the max with luxury steroids. I think it is fair to say we are unlikely to see men sporting the €30,000- €35,000 crocodile or python prints. However, a trend i can recommend to keep an eye out for on the streets is the LED flashing sole high top trainers, as seen in Topshop (clickable links here: Techno light up and TRANCE light up) along with the ultra cool street style brand www.Iamvitalle.com and Monsta (click link here) .
