London-based designer Adrien Sauvage knows how to keep guys looking so fresh and so clean-clean in typical A. Sauvage style of “dress easy.” The celeb fashion consultant and former professional basketball player recently released his SS14 collection, full of nature prints and light-colored, earth-tone pieces that reflect Adrien’s multicultural heritage of West Africa and The British Isles.
Inspired by his great-grandfather’s move from Nigeria to Scotland in the 1950s, the young designer used Savannah landscape prints by German artist Nelson Crespo for his tees and pullovers, while using English solids and Scottish-influenced plaid textiles for his more sophisticated items, smoothly blending modern street casual with traditional menswear.
Just like in previous A. Sauvage collections, artist Basquiat served as a muse. The radiant child, who famously walked down the runway for Commes des Garçon in the 80s, had his own personal style of natural coolness, usually wearing boyish outfits and tailored fitting suits.
