Romance has been a theme for designers for centuries but it has been quite some time that a menswear collection could be described as “romantic”. The new collection from Guillem Rodriguez can certainly be described in such a way. This range imagines a world without the drudgery of social media and is inspired by a calm, relaxed and peaceful idealised concept of romanticism. Spanish designer Guillem Rodriquez has created clothes for a world in which we all wish we lived. The beautifully realised collection (both conceptually and in its construction) employs great care in using the highest quality fabrics. The use of floral, subtle combinations of colours in stripes and cloud like painting adds a childlike innocence to the pieces, especially when seen on the short cropped jacket and teamed with the simple but incredibly well made oversized white shirt. The textured sweats also deserve a special mention, for the way in which they create a new look for a staple menswear item.
Graduating from BAU Design School in 2013, Guillem Rodriguez is a young and fresh designer that has drawn on his imagination for this collection. There is no doubt that should be continue to produce such imaginative and well constructed clothes, his success will grow and grow.
