Milan Men’s F/W 08 – JOHN RICHMOND

John Richmond’s biker chic is more from the 70's than 60's or 80's. He focuses on a layered look this year, like layering blazers over leather bikers jackets. Richmond is riding on the whole Biker rise of Belstaff last season. Showing a lot of tight leather pants and even tight suit pants. One of the highlights of the collection is Richmond's homage to the beaded trend of the season detailing dinner jackets with beading on the lapels and pockets. The big misses of the collections was the overuse of the scarves and the white section which was too hip hop for Richmond. The strongest section was black section. Another strong trend from the collection is Richmond's geometric knits used through out the collection.
