Moved by tales of roving artists and the historic American West, Mr. Olive’s fall collection entitled “Motel Chronicles” envisions a modern traveler with nostalgic flair. Finding inspiration in the past, the collection’s colors are muted and low-key, relying on fall’s natural color associations–green, burgundy and brown. Falling within normal proportions, simple cuts relay a retro vibe. Never too slim or blown up to dramatic proportions, the collection’s convenient outerwear and shirting options embrace a functional look that is more about feeling comfortable than being on the cusp of tomorrow’s trends. However, this feature does not take away from a well-intentioned collection that pays tribute to the rugged sensibility of man.
