The transition from BOYHOOD to MANHOOD requires REBELLION.
This can only happen when the bonds of childhood are broken.Adolescence; a fervent phase of trial and error, exploration,experimentation and self-creation is the FIRST CREATIVE REBELLION.The natural and sanctified REBELLION OF YOUTH.
For the SS17 Avec Ces Frères has applied this ethos to styles featuring similar colors, tones, shades, optics, patterns and attitude. With this pallet they played with silhouette, print and detail.
The collection harmonizes elements of softness; sharp cut and fluid drape in order to capture the sprit of membership and esprit de corps of youth. They have eschewed industry norms of beauty focusing instant on the crucial underlying notion of REBELLION to produce a new point of view and a fresh proposal for today’s man.
As ever the gravitational pull of Britishness provides A.C.F.’s final filter. Archetypal styles from the British sub-cultural genres like parkas, bombers and sharp shirts are reinvented for SS17. Light shirting bottoms, nylon, dusty matte leather and grosgrain tape detailing help imbue the brand’s signature PUNK TAILORING aesthetic.
