Eye candy for all as this pink-strong collection walks at Paris Fashion Week.
Designer Chitose Abe had the models kicking up a (dust) storm as they presented a complex and well thought out set of designs for the Sacai Spring Summer 2017 collection, inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. The mesh, knitwear and a lot of nylon gave off a retro sportswear ora, although we are given a few tailored pieces which hold the collection together. Phrases such as “oddy-knocky” and “Horrowshow” are plastered on t-shirts underneath the layered outfits, most of which sporting circular badges.
Stripes, tassels and checks are busy on the eye but does not give us a lack of intrigue, for sure. See the full Sacai Spring/Summer 2017 Collection which showcased at Paris Fashion Week below:

Trends sometimes pop out of nowhere and take people by surprise. In the last installment of There’s Something Missing From Your Suit, the sudden resurgence of the Collar Bar takes place.
The Collar Bar was originally designed to keep the collar in a neat shape and to lift the tie, giving it slightly more prominence. But, as with most things in fashion, it dipped in popularity, and was replaced by collar buttons.
An unflinching demand for all things vintage has brought collar bars back into the fore. But before you start making holes in the collars of your shirts; please note that shops do sell shirts specifically made for collar bars.
Although collar bars are supposed to support the tie and keep the collar in place, the current trend is to wear the collar bar without a tie, thus turning the bar into a key accessory. Wearing a collar bar without a tie turns a suit from formal to a more relaxed affair, whilst looking sharp.
So there you have it. PAUSE’s guide to becoming the ultimate suit wearer.
Go forth and shop.
