Public School channels The Man Who Fell From Earth style for fall-winter 2016.

Public School looked to the late David Bowie and his 1976 film The Man Who Fell From Earth for the inspiration of its fall-winter 2016 men’s collection. Embracing a loner chic aesthetic, designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne juxtaposed their streetwear-inspired separates with relaxed tailoring.

Here, quilted trousers, military-style bomber jackets and camouflage dressed fashions came together with an eclectic flair. Belted tops were layered with plaid pullovers, turtlenecks and long button-downs. Denim also played a role in the collection with staples such as the denim jacket and shirt, incorporated into a mix of slouchy silhouettes and modern tailoring.
