New York '06 F/W - Cloak
What if a bunch of male fashionistas enrolled into MIT? Would would they look like? What would they wear? That's where designer Alexandre Plokhov took his Fall/Winter '06 collection for Cloak.
It would seem Plokhov has left behind his usual gothic characterizations for a more constructed clean look evoking collegiate professors rather than urban goth rockers. Although the style may have changed, the level of design and detailing are still there. The silhouettes are still close to the body but they are sharper and tailored. Materials have moved away from leathers to tweeds, woolens, and crepes.
I love this collection. The shoes are beautifully designed; worn covered or pants tucked in. The jackets are simple and have that slightly worn look to them which makes everything so damn comfortable looking. Certainly, Cloak is one of the best American menswear labels to come out in a very very long time.
