SAMUELSOHN This Montreal-based clothing manufacturer was founded in 1923 and was instilled with the goal of committing to “craft and continuing passion for the finest in luxury menswear.” Samuelsohn infuses elements of modern styling with classic tailoring to adhere to the man who values superior quality and sophisticated style. This season, Samuelsohn presented his Fall/Winter ’17 collection with an acclaimed look at Monte Bianco, where he drew from foothills bathed in autumnal hues of garnet. Models took center stage at The Ice Rink at The Standard Hotel with a special performance by Canadian figure skater Eric Radford, the Olympic pairs silver medalist and five-time Canadian pairs champion. The collection displayed two colorway combinations of ice blue with silver and wine with silver. The pinnacle fabric took shape by uniting fashion and technology, with isothermal properties offering water resistance, wrinkle recovery, natural strength, and breathability. Wool and cashmere stole the show however, highlighted through a long-length double breasted coat; a car coat in wool; a weightless deconstructed suit; super merino garment-dyed turtle necks; a twill parka; and a three-piece peak lapel suit with multiple boutonnières in a cotton Lycra velvet. This collection left a lasting impression that aligned with the Samuelsohn mantra – Passion X Performance. 24

NICK GRAHAM

Nick Graham launched his contemporary menswear brand in 2013, and has been a favorite amongst the modern-day gentleman ever since. Graham is known for his rather interesting and entertaining shows/presentations with his past season evoking the spirit of carnival in Havana, Cuba. This season, Graham took us out of this world quite literally by sending us soaring into outer space (to Mars to be exact). Life on Mars was influenced by Apollo 11— predicting what men would look like on Mars 30 years from now. There could have been no one better to depict what the future of life in space would be than Bill Nye ‘the Science Guy’. Nye narrated the show giving a brief lecture on the planets, his love for science, and the relationship he has fostered with Nick Graham over the years. To wrap up his interlude, Nye concluded with a reference to humans being created from stardust, which aptly foreshadowed what was to come. In an instant the lights dimmed and a mysterious announcer introduced Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin (87 years old), also known as the second man to walk on the moon in 1969 after Neil Armstrong. He was adorned in a futuristic space-age ensemble, including a silver metallic bomber jacket and sneakers, complete with a black t-shirt featuring an emblem designed to mimic the NASA logo. As Buzz took main stage, the other models filed in to the soundtrack of the late David Bowie’s, Life on Mars? In that moment, it felt as if Ziggy Stardust was smiling down. The collection showcased metallic suits and matching coords with galactic prints that mirrored the theme, and in true Nick Graham fashion, models had their hair spray painted grey for special effect. This collection incorporated the obsession of the Space race during the late 1950s-60s with designers such as André Courrèges and Paco Rabanne. It also referenced 1970s Glam Rock, which featured prominently through the likes of TREX, The Sweets, and David Bowie. This sense of androgyny where space age met rock and roll was displayed liberally throughout the collection, all the while remaining true to the Nick Graham aesthetic of the modern-day Dandy.

JULIANNA BASS Julianna Bass’s designs speak to the woman who isn’t afraid to embrace classic style on her own terms. A Bass woman exudes strength, power, and a desire to thrive despite societal norms. The Tennessee native turned to New York after studying fashion and costume design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She embraces art, culture, and travel within her design aesthetic. “My time in Berlin has given me this incredible mix of freedom and focus” says Bass. This season, Bass explored a darker, slightly sinister approach to her collection. The intentions of the designer propelled an underlying poetic message, “Sprint from yesterday, past the horror of tomorrow to the world after that. That future must come faster.” It leaves one to question what in fact tomorrow will hold. The present seems to be clouded and unsure, with politics, corruption, and even dictatorships influencing our judgment and playing on our psyche. This collection revealed a deeper meaning, that of an individual willing to wear their internal struggle on their sleeve. Artist Peer Kriesel projects this inner struggle through miniature nymphs and demons reconciled with ghastly beast, voluptuous figures and whimsical contortions. The collection presents itself through juxtaposing of a rich and ominous palette with the ultra-feminine textures of piped chiffon, ruffles, pleated velvet, fringe, fur trimming, and illusion mesh. 28
RAINE MAGAZINE - VOLUME 29

SACHIN & BABI Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia’s works analyze the intersection of British and Indian culture during the British Raj. The British Raj was the rule of the British Crown in the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947, a rule which extending over India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The resulting political union was also called the Indian Empire, which later partitioned British India into two independent sovereign dominions of India and Pakistan. This act received royal assent when it became a separate British colony, with India gaining independence on July 18, 1947. Sachin and Babi’s opulent Fall/Winter ‘17 collection merged two cultures in perfect harmony. As Indian immigrants who have made New York City their home, Sachin and Babi wanted to express India’s rich cultural history while demonstrating that the inclusion of other cultures does not harm or take away from theirs, instead creating an inclusive environment for all. This idea of union was effectively shown through the juxtaposing of English rose prints with Maharani Necklaces and Raisin Cambridge stripes with Jodhpur sleeves. The sumptuous collection entitled, The Inevitable Raj adhered to the Sachin and Babi core aesthetic, presented through alluring textiles including a putty silk taffeta dress, an ivory poplin blouse, a navy lame tunic dress, a black lace gown with ruby and fuchsia lace patchwork, and a black crepe strapless gown with accompanying Jodhpur lace sleeves. Each look spoke of affluence and luxury in its purest form, seamlessly mirroring the location at the National Arts Club. The National Arts club is a national historic landmark of New York City, and has been since 1898. Situated in Gramercy Park, it’s aim is to “stimulate, foster, and promote public interest in the arts and to educate the American people in the fine arts.” –Charles DeKay, Founder. The Inevitable Raj created an effective culture clash, but also an atmosphere that encouraged cultural collaboration.
