Tel-Aviv based Menswear designer Eliran Nargassi present us his second collection, inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe’s series of black and white photographs, Ken, Lydia and Tyler circa 1985, which deals with nudity in reference to gender, race, and sexual orientation.

The collection was designed in spirit of Mapplethorpe’s photographs with attention to points of contradiction such as black and white, soft and rigid, and masculine – feminine role play which are evident in his work. The collection consists of 18 pieces which include of a variety of semi-tailored tops and jackets, button down shirts, and tailored trousers. All of which carry elements from the season’s inspiration and are true to the Eliran Nargassi design aesthetic.
