RUNWAY: Nicomede Talavera SS15

Nicomede Talavera's Spring/Summer 2015 designs proffered a new kind of armor for the waif-ish models that paraded down his black runway. Patchwork and raw edges played well together to create an interesting take on layering that saw voluminous pants in technical fabrics over elongated vests with leather and tartan melding together, a sort of metaphor for the diversity that London offers residents and visitors alike. Short sleeved jackets looked androgynous and cool while the various textures resulted in a smorgasbord of eye candy.
