RUNWAY: John Richmond SS16

For his Spring/Summer 2016 collection, John Richmond played with hard and soft elements, from splashes of pop art and comic book graphics to his signature hard edged tailoring. The mix often worked, like in a crystal encrusted jacket with patent leather loafs, or a bold graphic hoodie with skater shorts. However, the seesaw of hard and soft were just far too dissonant to feel coherent. The tailored pieces eclipsed the sportier elements by a mile.
