Johannes Bloomfield is fast becoming one of my favorite menswear designers. Her latest for Johannes Faktotoum eschews color for a minimalist palette of whites and warm grays which is fine by me. There's a strict utilitarian sense but every piece is just slightly over worked to subtly create complexity. It's very much in the vain of what Helmut Lang did with some of his mens' pieces. Fabrications verge on being paper thin with translucent tops and barely there shirts. I adore all the jackets and trench coats because I'm a person who likes to cover up. The entirely collection is styled to look approachably modern.
I've often wonder why there aren't more "white" color schemes for spring/summer clothes. We all know white reflects the sun and heat better than anything else so to me it makes sense.
