In showing both his #Spring17 men’s and women’s collections today, #JulienDavid has joined the wave of designers recalibrating the #fashion cycle on their own terms. Go figure, he also used waves as a metaphor that he rode from the subtropical southern islands of #Japan to the material representation of sound. The mixed lineup worked in David’s favor; fixating on whether a waterproof taffeta parka appeared on a guy or girl (trick question, both) felt trivial compared with realizing that his #uniquefabrics and #urban #stylings don’t conform to the industry’s normative codes.
