Photographed by Morten Bengtsson, Unique model Mathias takes it easy in the latest collection from René Gurskov entitled Quiet Days in Clichy. Inspired by Henry Millers’ 1956 novel of the same name, the collection follows the journey of an imagined American student going to Paris and taking the best of America with him. Infused with color, quirk, prints and attitude, a casual wardrobe celebrates the land of the free.

“The Americano mixed with old world decadence – Paris – place de la Clichy with its extreme mix of people and cultures.
X rated clubs, Europe cheapest shops, loud women which are not always female, food from every hidden corner of the world and the fabric stores.
An area where a sweet American easily can loose his focus!
In the collection there are a mix of both worlds + glimpses of most worlds.
A piece of stars and stripes remixed by Venezuelan art director Char Alfonzo in New York
Mesh sweaters with an African stripe designed in Denmark.
To complete the look, paper glasses from Hong Kong designer Ron Wan for Rene Gurskov– now based in Toronto.
Items are skirt like pants; linen jackets tied together, asymmetric tees, bowling shirts, boxer shorts and the biggest track pants.
Enough pieces to dress up and be anything but quiet!”
