Nasir Mazhar is back after being one of the most emerging designer’s on last season’s London Collections:Men runways. The SS16 collection may not be for everyone, but it definitely had it’s own distinct look and intense feel. Largely consisting of black, grey and beige, this “storm trooper” collection was strong and hard, even featuring what looked to be a bullet proof vest in one look.
A pleasant change from the scrawny white boy models who dominate the London runways, diversity was in full force at the Nasir Mazhar show, and really, it’s about time the London runways represent the diverse city of London. All shapes, colors and sizes walked this runway in what seemed to be a goth-inspired collection that drove things back down the basics. We see Mazhar’s classic track suit and baseball hats, lots of layering, interesting cutouts and draping.
Mazhar’s collection may not be for everyone man’s style, but those looking for something tough and different can find it here.
