PORTS 1961 SPRING SUMMER 2018 MENSWEAR

The spring-summer Ports 1961 menswear collection is a celebration of diversity, strength and optimism.

Fashion reflects the world around us. In a time of challenge, fear and disillusion, it is the creative person's role to try to deliver a message of love and hope.

For the past several seasons, Milan Vukmirovic has been exploring the urgency of love and the importance of fraternity, unity and solidarity.

Inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat’s work and personal style, African cool-setters and the hip-hop scene in New York in the early Eighties, Milan Vukmirovic presents an upbeat collection with a very positive message.

Brimming with color and meaning, this collection is a window that opens to the world and defends the richness of difference.

This season, Ports 1961 draws in equal measures on street culture, contemporary dress and local artisans. Embroidery and prints point to far horizons.

This collection is, in its own way, a message of solidarity for the Black Lives Matter movement that began in the street and on social media in 2012. The fight against violence and for justice for black people resonates today in an even wider, bigger way.

Now, more than ever, EVERY LIFE MATTERS. EVERY COLOR MATTERS. ONLY LOVE MATTERS.

PORTS 1961 PRE-FALL 2017

An off duty, relaxed scene is evoked in the Ports 1961 Pre Fall 17 collection, drawing on domestic objects and the everyday as its inspiration. The collection melds together the comfort of familiarity in carefree arcadian elements with the modernity of the brand's signature multi-function pieces. Felted winter blankets are reworked as outerwear coats while the well known polka dot of oil cloths is reinterpreted as oversized nylon bags. Commonplace still life photographs of seasonal flowers in vases brought from home, appear unexpectedly on crisp poplin shirts. A fresh perspective can be seen on the recurring theme of stripes, which in turn become familiar checks as they make their way through the collection. Inviting homespun knitwear, soft textures of brushed wool and double faced cashmere combine with warm hues of currant, caramel and turmeric to evoke a sense of gentle luxury.

What can designers do to defend us in troubled times like these? Reinterpreting the male wardrobe with an excess of gentleness, adding romanticism to military wear, giving a new twist to their decorations, adding flowers and re-embroidering everything with poetry is what Milan Vukmirovic has chosen for the Spring-Summer 2017 of Ports 1961. Fashion not only dresses us but affects us and protects us. It reflects the times and can convey deep messages.

Uniforms have always occupied a privileged place in the fashion pantheon. With Milan Vukmirovic’s fourth collection for Ports 1961, the French artistic director does not restrict himself to lines of perfectly conceived army uniforms on which much contemporary fashion is based. He also appropriates their stripes, insignia, frogs and ceremonial braiding, sensitively transferring these details to jerkins, shirts, sweatshirts and shorts.

This military influence, playfully redefined, is boosted by references to classic sportswear. As part of the collection, a partnership has been signed with Everlast, creating a capsule collection that is distributed exclusively by Ports 1961. The iconic logo of the American brand is reworked in large dimensions on a selection of sports pieces with a new, more pronounced fashion accent.

In parallel with this, abstract flower emblems are also key, appearing layered on raw edge poplin over shirt fronts, in tone-on-tone embroidery on lengthened bomber jackets, and screen-printed to break up the graphic rhythm on sweaters and marinière T-shirts. There are stripes but also jacquards and, above all, the Star Camo design which the fashion house has adopted as its own for four seasons, which adds dynamism to the season in a range that stretches from ecru to black via navy blue and olive green.

The accessories are also part of the celebration. Backpacks and sneakers continue the textile motifs of the ready-to-wear. A new line of objects and small leather goods in smooth leather has the golden signature #LOVE, the hashtag for Spring-Summer 2017, which is also found on the garments, updating the #followme which has characterized previous seasons.
