The Nicholas Nybro Spring/Summer 2015 collection graced the stage at Copenhagen Fashion Week and stunned fashion fans with its exaggerated and flamboyant aesthetic. Entitled "The Tournament", this menswear collection takes its visual inspiration from Lewis Carroll's fantasy children's story, "Alice in Wonderland".
Focusing on the story's Queen of Hearts croquet tournament, Nicholas Nybro combines tropical hues, artful prints and oversized accessories together to create a range of eclectic menswear ensembles.
Aside from its Queen of Hearts, croquet and flamingo image inspirations, this edgy collection channels the hip-hop culture. Models' oversized hoodies and graphic tees are paired with exaggerated gold chains that are reminiscent of those worn by retro rap icons like Big Daddy Kane and Flavor Flav from Public Enemy.
