Joseph Turvey x River Island Menswear Spring Summer 14 Collaboration

After the huge success of a debut menswear collection with British Designer T. Lipop, River Island’s Design Forum initiative is proud to announce Joseph Turvey for the Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Renowned for scene-stealing illustration and experimental takes on fabrication, Joseph Turvey’s signature prints and bold colour palette have already garnered him a deserved reputation as one of the most refreshing and innovative designers of his generation. The hero element of the range is in the playful pink camouflage. This is a strong theme throughout, and plays off chic elements of luxe sportswear, statement neoprene accessories and matching jersey sets. These elements juxtapose to create a new take on 90s street wear culture. 

In Lust With: Joseph Turvey AW12 Collection

After i watched the video of the Joseph Turvey AW12 show, the towering figure of the designer who sort of dwarfs the two male models who came out with him is stuck in my head. I try to link a couple of images or other sensory perceptions to give it some sense then something clicks. That towering image sort of reflect the impact this collection had on me. I did not get a chance to see all the mens show but i've read all the reviews and watched all the shows and of all of them, Joseph Turvey and 3 other labels are the ones that i recollect best.
