Detailed Look | PETROU\MAN Spring 2010

PETROU\MAN shares a more detailed look at their spring 2010 collection.

Cre­at­ing his debut col­lec­tion, Petrou looked to no other than Amer­i­can designer Geof­frey Beene. Moved by an illus­tra­tion Sirichai com­pleted for Geof­frey Beene dur­ing spring 2001, Petrou began look­ing at the makeup of active sports­wear. Pay­ing close atten­tion to the attrib­utes that make sports­wear com­fort­able, Petrou sought to blend them with clas­sics for a mod­ern relaxed col­lec­tion with per­son­al­ity. This resulted in a decon­structed mix of pat­terns, mesh and a rein­ter­pre­ta­tion of the clas­sic jacket. Giv­ing jack­ets a new look, pro­por­tions shifted as the length became shorter and the sleeves more nar­row. Mean­while sequin adorn­ments lend the col­lec­tion a touch of glamor.

Spring 2010 | PETROU\MAN

Styled by Dazed & Con­fused fash­ion edi­tor Rob­bie Spencer, Nico­las Petrou pre­sented his spring 2010 col­lec­tion dur­ing New York Fash­ion Week. Inspired by an illus­tra­tion Sirichai com­pleted for Geof­frey Beene dur­ing the spring 2001 sea­son, Petrou blended the com­fort of sports­wear with the attrac­tive­ness of mod­ern menswear. The result is a decon­structed mix of pat­terns, mesh and sequins that look best when pre­sented on Petrou’s rein­ter­pre­ta­tion of the clas­sic jacket. The beauty of Petrou’s work is his abil­ity to hone in on an abstract style of fash­ion and still keep it accessible.

PETROU\MAN Spring 2010

PETROU\MAN is the cre­ation of Nico­las Petrou, an MA grad­u­ate from St. Martin’s School in Lon­don. Cre­at­ing his debut col­lec­tion, Petrou looked to no other than Amer­i­can designer Geof­frey Beene. Moved by an illus­tra­tion Sirichai com­pleted for Geof­frey Beene dur­ing spring 2001, Petrou began look­ing at the makeup of active sports­wear. Pay­ing close atten­tion to the attrib­utes that make sports­wear com­fort­able, Petrou sought to blend them with clas­sics for a mod­ern relaxed col­lec­tion with per­son­al­ity. This resulted in a decon­structed mix of pat­terns, mesh and a rein­ter­pre­ta­tion of the clas­sic jacket. Giv­ing jack­ets a new look, pro­por­tions shifted as the length became shorter and the sleeves more nar­row. Mean­while sequin adorn­ments lend the col­lec­tion a touch of glamor. Mak­ing for a spe­cial touch, Petrou com­pleted the season’s look­book by incor­po­rat­ing back­ground images that rep­re­sent every­day life: “weather, sci­ence, money, trav­el­ing, pol­i­tics and gen­eral issues. [He] wanted to put the PETROU\MAN into an every­day envi­ron­ment but in a more artis­tic and abstract way.”
