The Ellus Fall/Winter 2013 collection took its inspiration from a police man style sensibility. Making its debut at Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Brazil, this stunning runway presentation fused a military aesthetic along with dapper silhouettes and eye-catching hardware accents.
The darkly hued menswear line provided a canvas for chic leather lapels, intricate embroidery details and metallic crest embellishments. Its darkly hued palette was paired with hints of bright color pops and displayed in a variety of rich fabrics ranging from heavy wools and subtly patterned tweeds to lightweight cottons and denims.
Proving that utilitarian doesn’t always equal clinical and boring, the streamlined, but eccentric Ellus Fall/Winter 2013 menswear collection is both masculine and memorable with its luxe take on law enforcement style.
