The brand new Siki Im Fall 2018 collection draws its usual focus away from an avant-garde approach and more towards a juxtaposing idea of both modernity and traditional aesthetics. The German designer draws inspiration from his days studying at Oxford University -- replacing his sleek monochromatic tones with neutral browns and preppy textured tweed materials. The Siki Im Fall 2018 menswear range highlights clean cuts and bold silhouettes.
Some notable pieces that resemble the traditional aesthetics include blazers without collars and pintucked chinos. Modernity is exuded through details such as heritage textiles, vegan leathers, and vegan fur. In addition, the designer incorporates some influence of sportswear in the expansive capsule to tap into the strong modern statement of athleisure.
