I never really thought much about emotional architecture, but apparently it means connecting people to their space and experience–defining an art form using light, shadows, movement, and their relation to mankind. This concept, creatively used by architect Luis Barragan, was the main inspiration for the Oliver Spencer SS15 collection.

Each garment was effectively created with this thought in mind-focusing texture, color (contrasting and matching) to design comfortable and lightweight clothing.

The models strutted to the likes of a Brazilian percussion band “Rhythms of the City” with an end-all final jaunt down the catwalk by not only the models but also three scantily Carnaval clad Brazilian samba dancers.

Now, I am not sure about the space and movement and connection, but I do know the collection was quite eye pleasing, light and airy, soft and calming, and the drum music was invigorating. Nothing like some samba drumming to make a man want to shop. Oliver Spencer tends to create garments that men simply want to wear.
