Blank Homme Spring 2009
The word structure and geometry come to mind when describing Blank Homme’s Spring 2009 collection. The gray scale color range by Fredrik Blank and Asa Goransson are pieces constructed with an angular dimension. Items ranging from light sweaters, to button ups, suits, and coats give the wearer a very masculine shape. There is much emphasis on the shoulder, and the patterns and silhouettes for each of the items stay uniform and simple.
