Dirk Bikkembergs – SS17

A lovely version of a biker jacket. Complete white on white to make a big statement. Love the extra large zip detail. The bottom are really cool, fantastic cut and rib cuff at the hem. 

Fantastic chunky jumper, love that wide neck. Lovely subtle detail on the side with that appliqué. White tailored shorts, longline in length and then turn up for styling. The huge gold chain is an interesting detail.

Repeat after me, children are not fashion accessories…. children are not fashion accessories…. children are not fashion accessories…. children are not fashion accessories…. but I just love this, having 2 boys of my own we love dressing in the same look. The red trousers have a perfect slim leg cut, the blazer has a strong shape to it, works really well.

The knitted V neck top look really cool, the open knit in the middle in a test angle shape looks interesting. Matching jersey bottoms a cross between tradition trousers with that fly front and track bottoms with the rib cuff. Collarless bomber jacket styled with that lush scarf. Very cool.

Spring / Summer 17 will be about stars, a lot have been shown in the womenswear collections and now a few are crossing over to the menswear collections. I love the graphics on this knit and also the colour block look. The bottoms are as before he styled with the shin pads, a new sports-luxe accessory.

The stars theme continues with this classic leather collarless biker jacket. The cut of the jacket is very slimline, those sleeves could be painted on. Slimline bottoms and again the shin pad styling.

Sportswear fabrics are now a mainstay in the fashion industry. I love the mesh used in this shorts and blazer combo. Note the detail of the slant pockets and also the seams on the shoulders. I like the detail of how the fabric is doubled up on the hem of the shorts. This is a fantastic outfit.

Such a fantastic print on this shirt sleeve shirt and I like the styling of the sleeves turned up. I love that print, the floral and graphic background, gorgeous colours used. The shiny PU shorts are extremely short and have a really nice detail of a mesh panel with a red lining underneath. I love this outfit.

The same print as before, this time used as panels in a bomber jacket. The jacket itself is a raglan sleeve which is a great shape for this sports-luxe collection. The shorts are wide and big, again the mesh fabric has a contrast colour lining underneath. Very cool.

I love this suit, gorgeous soft jersey tailoring. The mesh panels are a great detail. The slimline cut of the trousers are amazing, the suit lapels are long and narrow. Stunning outfit.

A lovely six button double breasted suit. I love the narrow wrap over. The leather patch on the shoulder and sleeve is the kind you would find on a tweed hunting jacket the kind someone would wear to go shooting with. 

Layering has always been apart of sports wear styling. This is a classic look with those running tights worn underneath those oversize shorts. Lovely tropical floral print mixed with those graphic stripes. The leather jacket has been mixed with jersey, the panels on the sleeves are a great detail.

If you want a tux that’s going to stand you out from the crowd then this one. This tropical print is lovely, it’s not just the colours that make it look fantastic it’s also the scale of the print. The suit itself has lovely shawl lapels in the contrast black.

Another beautiful print on a fantastic tux, contrast black shawl lapels as before.

And to finish another version of that tux, this time classic black but with that touch of glam with those silver shawl lapels. Always finish an outfit like this with the correct shoes. 

Dirk Bikkembergs SS17 – a wonderful collection with some fantastic ideas for the new season. Immersed in the sports luxe theme that’s really taking off for this season. I love the prints in those vivid colours pushed that next step further by the scale used. Little extra touches like the shin pads and the leather shoulder patch on the double breasted suit really finish each outfit. The cut and shape of each garment has been wonderfully thought out, the layering and the use of sports jersey fabrics show a real wit and intelligence to the design. A truly outstanding collection.
