Nasir Mazhar Fall/Winter 2016

For the second season in a row,Nasir Mazhar utilised a black palette to draw attention to the experimental techniques he’s become known for. Cyber punk influences ran throughout the collection, with lace up detailing, chaps and platform new rock boots, rooting the brand firmly in it’s club culture roots.

Key looks were accentuated with white details, whether it was piping, exposed boxer briefs or a tailored shirt, these details alluded to an element of rebirth for the brand: this was also confirmed by the press team as “long-planned changes for the brand are set to be revealed.” What can this possibly mean for the designer whose collections have become a uniform for street wear fanatics across the globe? His covetable accessories, that have been such a draw for his followers were fully black and back with a bang. The token bully cap ran throughout as well as a new bucket hat style, backpack, shoulder bag and nylon briefcase. The extensive clothing styles for both sexes would suggest that Nasir Mazhar brand still has plenty to offer despite the upcoming changes.

Tongue-in-cheek surrealism also played throughout as a his-and-hers bucket head (actual plastic bucket with imprint eyes) couple proceeded through the space, draped with de-structured shirting, jumpers and a floor length look which seemed almost ceremonial.

The stand out womenswear styles included padded cheongsam style dresses, and his signature asymmetric skirts; this was also reflected in mens trousers with unsown seams that flapped open along the runway. Additional oriental details appeared in a tracksuit two piece with an origami texture, keeping ‘shape’ an important element for the design this season.
