Favorite Five: Kris Van Assche Fall 2013 Menswear
“You are what you wear,” says Kris Van Assche of his latest collection. “It is as simple as that. And there is a literal confrontation to be found in this idea within the collection. This is a confrontation between the person a man was when he was growing up, with all of those hopes and dreams, and who he feels he has to be when he becomes an adult. I don’t see why you can’t retain something of both in who you are. All of menswear abides by the same codes anyway, no matter who you are and what you do, whichever social strata you are from. I like to think that there is now a new generation who will not abide by these rules.”
