Evaa Kuik presented her EVAN Menswear Spring/Summer 2015 collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam. The designer's latest showing payed homage to the 90s and the effortlessly cool styles of the grunge subculture.
Channeling Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, models pulled off shoulder length hairstyles that were a perfect match with oversized sweaters, coats and plaid-accented statement pieces. Whether sporting plaid shorts or outerwear styles, the models looked like refined versions of some of the 90s most famous rockers.
Standouts from this collection included its elegantly layered separates that embodied a refined air while maintaining their youthful cool factor. In addition to its separates, the collection also featured sweat suits that were a modern take on the classic athletic uniform of grey sweatshirt and track pants.
