Xander Zhou, who established his label back in 2007 has never failed to impress. His AW13 collection was named “Boys Will Be Boys” and he made sure to make this reference very literal. There are many different elements that were brilliantly incorporated into the pieces to make them both beautiful, and relevant with the title. Zhou adds oversized proportions to the collection which makes them ideal for their respective seasons while infusing a dramatic flare to each look. The use of layering is prominent throughout the collection and the mix of different mediums (tweed, leather, and herringbone) lets the viewer appreciate the presence of each one. Taking a closer look at some of the sunglasses and collars will definitely have you giggling due to the fact that they are engraved with a secret message, “I am undressing you”. Boys will be boys.
“For me, men’s fashion is a personal preoccupation”
