This avant-garde brand is all about darkness. The designer feels that the collection is perfect for those wanting “armour” or the chance to hide behind their clothes.

The designs are blunt but intricate. Clothed only in black, tattooed, uber cool models walked the runways to a live DJ. Black knitwear, cotton and leather in all sorts of silhouettes categorized the line. Some interesting looks were the trendy coats and jackets, the leather pants and of course— the showstopper look of the shorts/pants combo. What is that, one might ask? It’s literally shorts and pants, one leg long pants, the other leg shorts. A nice way to show off any leg tattoos you might have while still keeping covered on a chilly day.

Whereas BDMOTP isn’t particularly into the “goth” look, Vlades does show promise—it’s not just another dark brand filled with angst. The sharp designs and modern silhouettes keep it relevant for anyone, and not just the death metal set. Any man would look sharp sporting a Vlades coat or jacket!
