Sports Luxe–Having a little fun this season, Dirk Bikkembergs takes his signature spin on sportswear on vacation. Juxtaposing his usual athletic pieces with more everyday garments, dressed in bright colors and loud prints, Bikkembergs serves up a collection in need of great digestion. Starting with the idea of the track suit, a cool dark color palette leaves room for a traditional view on menswear’s relaxed agenda but elements like a leather accented, belted jumpsuit suggest otherwise. Proving that sportswear can be taken with a little cheek but still worn in fair use, hues of orange are color blocked for separates like the blazer, indicating that you, yes you can be part of your own Olympics team. The collection is simply cheerful…electric blue pants, a fitted jacket, covered in reptile, suiting shorts, baggy trousers, a bright graffiti of sorts. With Bikkembergs, the results are endless and ultimately enjoyable.
