The Xander Zhou menswear collection for Fall/Winter 2015 boasts deconstructed denim pieces that are layered dramatically. In addition to the collection's embroidered coats and fringed statement pieces, its most memorable looks are its deconstructed and raw-edged trousers and jean jackets.
Instead of sporting traditional denim, models took to the stage in deconstructed pieces that were folded and layered in interesting ways. Draped over leather shirts, a classic jean jacket resembled a scarf or caped element rather than a traditional garment.
The Xander Zhou menswear collection for Fall/Winter 2015 was presented during London Collections: Men and was the opposite of traditional. The collection featured the designer's signature use of textile experimentation techniques and was a fresh translation of iconic denim constructions.
