Bulgarian designer Petar Petrov turned away from the muted tones of his previous collection, conjuring up a rebel with a knack quality pieces and followeing the idea of a simple esthetics of forms. He presented a selection of the best basic items that come into existence from a situation or usage, with a redefined tailoring, using all his knowledge of fabric treatments and textile innovation, providing a masculine coolness for people who feel more like rebels in an aligned society. His goal was to show the young hip men that wearing baggy pants is so uncool. He wanted to show them that it's easy to be chic and masculine at the same time. This is a hard sell, blind youth are very conformist by nature. They have been indoctrinated for years by stereotype labeling of clothing for men, and the fear of being labeled gay. A lot of guys don't read fashion magazines. They drive cars and most of them identify themselves by what car they drive, not what designer clothes they wear.
With the relaxed and emotion filled appeal put into most of PP’s works, knits took center stage, appearing in big and heavy, and in a metallic form which almost appeared as chains. Zipper detailing also appeared up the sides of jacket sleeves, on coats, and even as a new closure to a pant pocket, while cool shirts with metallic X staples also made and appearance, with strategically ripped shirts not too far away. Simple and without fuss, light casual shirts and jeans whether pants or jackets with snap closings, Mr Petrov’s turn to the recreation of a basic men’s piece perfectly embodied the naturalness of how most trend-right men today go about their dress routine, or would likely dream of. Ain't that über-cool ?
