Hasta La Ideas

Season after season, Steven Cox and Daniel Silver of menswear label Duckie Brown give a jolt of sartorial humor on the runway, and their Fall 2009 collection doesn’t hold back on the eccentricity. Models were cloaked in black from head to toe to give us a hybrid of Marvin the Martian and stealth ninjas. Finely cut blazers were matched with baggy pants while pops of orange gloves and heavily bundled necks gave the appropriate amount of whimsy. The boxy looks had the male models looking like covert snowboarding hipsters on some sort of top secret mission. Even though the looks that came down the runway had a dapper swagger, the ski-masks and exaggerated pompom hats had an air of mystery that were both curious and creepy. I wouldn’t want to run into someone in an outfit like this in a dark alley. Amidst the numerous bulky layers, the sporty coats and dandy jackets were clearly the star of the show, giving us a range of trenches and sporty coats that were simple, yet had the trademark style of Duckie Brown.
