RUNWAY: Philipp Plein SS15

Philipp Plein held his SS15 show poolside and featured a live performance, on a jetski no less, during the show. To pull focus back to the collection, Plein successfully took on a nautical theme that carried with it the big trend of the season: stripes. Anchors, sharks and cableknit sweaters helped round out the nautical vibe while patchwork on suits, jackets, and pants added unneeded attention especially when taken alone, the tailoring would have been enough to catch the eye. Plein has proven that he feels the need to take that extra step to dazzle with props and showmanship when in reality well made clothes speak for themselves.
