CHEFldn Redemption Ss14

For my first post i wish to talk about CHEFldn’s 2014 spring/summer collection.

REDemption Ss14

Showcasing this particular collection at London Fashion Week in February, Chief Designer and Founder Macharia Brian presented this “East vs West” concept in one of the events showrooms. Using the Japanese influence and martial art model as a basis for this collection, London based brand Dope Chef/CHEFldn created a juxtaposition of both lifestyle and tradition. Taking influences from his re-branding, Macharia uses his iconic” Un-United states flag” against Ying Yang symbolism to bring the traditional attire of many Samurais and their Senseis and re-imagine it  into modern, high-end streetwear.

As a big fan of Dope Chef’s original brand as well as their re-branding, i have now become a big lover of everything Macharia Brian designs and this Ss14 collection is no exception for me. The way he takes the  monochrome designs further by giving them themes and purpose, Macharia Brian isn’t just creating novelty pieces for this collection as he gives us high quality, timeless fashion without presenting an overriding take on eastern culture. It is fashion collections like this that gives designers and brands such a DopeChef/CHEFldn  the ability to be classed as artists.

Thank you for reading. This is my first ever post and i would like to hear your opinions on both the content of the piece as well as my writing.
