LA based menswear designer John Elliott debuted his Over The Line FW16 collection at NYFWM last week. The 35 looks were based off a desire to connect with the stirring discomfort of friction. The collection explores the darker shadowy themes of tension, disorientation, & intense energy.
The set was designed to embody The Berlin Wall; large dark weathered steel objects, mirrors of reflection that stack and layer, strobes of white heat. The track, produced in collaboration with Woo York exploded from towering sweaty sub woofers delivering the tense, volcanic narrative of the collection.
“The nucleus of the collection is made to be worn at night.” Said John Elliott. “It was primarily be outerwear-based, centered around wool and leather.”
Elevated stand out pieces from the collection included a chalk flannel M65 jacket, leather down jacket in navy and black, oak x dark navy Bolivia reversible full-zip jacket and black leather patch poncho.
This is John Elliott’s 3rd season showing in NYFW.
