KOMAKINO FW14 Collection

by

KOMAKINO delivers more strong pieces for Fall/Winter 2014 with a collection inspired by industrial and electronic music. The usual brand signatures are here : graphic detailing, color-blocking and military themes. I first became interested in KOMAKINO after seeing their well-executed MA-1s at Opening Ceremony and have been tracking the brand since. I feel it’s a brand that actually rides the line between high fashion and streetwear quite well and in this regard it reminds me of Nom de Geurre (RIP).  The standout outerwear pieces this time around are the leather trench and MA-1 bomber. While I’m admittedly sick of fashion camo,  KOMAKINO did do a respectable job of remixing the German Army (Camo Flecktarn).

KOMAKINO released this lookbook for their Fall/Winter 2013 collection and it’s bound to make MA-1 and black boot fans very happy. The bomber is released in a ton of different variations and colorways. Simpler staples such as the graphic t-shirts, crewnecks, button-down and skinny trousers round out the selection. 

For a glimpse into the future, take a look at their Spring/Summer 2014 presentation HERE. See all the looks after the jump.

KOMAKINO SS14 Presentation

by

London based Komakino held a presentation of their Spring/Summer 2014 offerings in an empty Paris parking lot. It’s hard for me to look at this line without thinking of Raf Simons, but that doesn’t take away from my appreciation of what Komakino does. The brand adds tasteful details to  sharply-fitting staples that men want to wear : hoodies, t-shirts, bomber jackets and button-ups. Examples in this collection are a cut-out detail on the arm of a blazer or a graphic design hit on sleeves of the MA-1.

You can find Komakino at Opening Ceremony (NY/LA) and Substance (LA) in the US. A full list of stockists can be found HERE.
