John Elliott Spring 2017 Menswear

Show Review: John Elliott Spring 2017 Menswear
Water was John Elliott’s inspiration for his Spring 2017 collection: its impressions, waves and fluctuations, hues and shades. Looks were anchored with Nike kicks, low-top sneakers, and slides for the athleisure-centric take on luxury that we’ve been getting used to in fashion for a few seasons now.

Elliott thinks of his designs as luxury, but they come in at price points that are actually affordable and in silhouettes that are wearable in real-life. Utility and purpose are at the foundation of his brand. Case in point: the slew of bombers, hoodies, knits, and trousers.

Glossy button-front shirts and jackets were the most polished pieces in the offerings, though everything had an air of precision and restraint.

Jellyfish, wave, and geometric prints in whites and blues felt very oceanic and spirited.

Outerwear spoke to the season’s real needs: when the transition between Winter and warmer temperatures throws everyone’s wardrobes into chaos. Shorts then spoke to Spring’s latter half.

And though Elliott’s palette definitely experimented with buoyant greens, blues and the occasional pink, he grounded most of the assortment in his signature grays and blacks.

Overall, the collection had a very quiet and subtle strength and power. Men will definitely have fun in these designs, though there’s no denying that women will also be picking up a jacket or t-shirt for the season as well.
