Hien Le presented his Spring/Summer 2015 collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin and stunned an audience of spectators with his signature brand of institutional elegance.
The designer’s latest menswear line embodies a utilitarian design aesthetic that is made modern and visually interesting for the young consumer. Standouts from the collection include athletic-inspired ensembles that are showcased in a palette of white and seafoam green combinations. These looks are reminiscent of hospital garb and can be compared to a stylish version of medical scrubs.
The collection’s other colors include neutral, grey and blue tones that are accented with a hint of pattern. Hien Le’s latest runway presentation is discreet and understated, two words that can describe his aesthetic.
