Christian Blanken debut Mens collection for SS13

Christian Blanken continues to add to his signature label, with the launch in June 2012, of his Men’s SS 13 capsule collection during the debut MENS Collections week showing in London. The Men’s collection will continue to profile clean, sharp tailoring, sport luxe garments and athletic wear with an edgy toughness in symmetry with the Women’s main collection.

Classic fabrics like ,soft jersey, lightweight tropical wool and cotton gabardine suits and coats feature, alongside stretch cotton shirting and printed beach wear as well as a few stand out items in leather and suede.

Solid as well as yarn dye shirts layered over nude mesh jersey tanks as well as matte and titanium sequined pieces add depth and counterbalance the rigour of the tailoring. Inspired by his writing and research for a forthcoming book entitled DECADES OF SPORTSWEAR the Menswear collection is also naturally heavily inspired by this subject.

The strictly edited colour palette is built on a base of black and white and a range of greys mixed with nude and titanium.

For this debut Men’s collection Christian Blanken has directed a mini short film which explores the effect of clothing and the male image and takes its visual reference from the pioneering film noir directors Alfred Hitchcock and Bruce La Bruce, a short film allows the collection to be shown in a highly visual format conveying the form, fit and versatility of Blanken’s Men’s designs.

Christian Blanken Spring Summer 2012

Christian Blanken continues to build on his main signature luxury sportswear ethos this time with an edgy toughness. S/S 12 layers bonded raw edge cut leathers over heavily ruched and intricately draped luxurious viscose silk jerseys, linen separates and dresses.





The S/S 12 collection is comprised of sharp tailored pieces, from boxed zipped jackets to clean line trousers, coupled with softer shaped dresses and tops all in classic hues. Christian has ensured that each piece remains true to the original androgynous aesthetic whilst incorporating feminine twists - perfectly balancing opposites.





A signature graphic stingray print features within the collection in a range of pieces such a slim jacket, body-wear as well as chiffon beach cover-ups. This print has also been reinterpreted with Swarovski Elements and features as an embellishment on a selection of garments, ranging from dresses, featherweight jersey t-shirts and new swimwear.






With a primary colour palette of black, silver and taupe with accents of peach and salmon the Christian Blanken S/S 12 collection is urban, functional and always luxurious.
