EXCERPT: VTMNTS. SPRING 2023 - ZÜRICH
"...There is no doubting VTMNTS latest collection holds an avant-garde feel, with elements of earlier VETEMENTS shows imprinted into its array, with exaggerated looks such as protective shoulder pads lined within blazers and tops, the double layering of jackets and coats. Cropped bomber jackets, revealing naked mid drifts, yet holding, within a balanced masculine and tough resolve. At times Guram has super charged men's styles that reflect the duality of both male and female aesthetics, while also redefining the stylizations of its masculinity. This can also been seen in his Ready-to-Wear collection with the feminine crossing over into the masculine. The color palette stays within from Guram's like of base and neutral colors, while playing around with kitsch brighter colors. Which, in my opinion, is Guram toying with the garish street wear styles of the 1990's. Also noted are the silver industrial insulation fabrics, which could be indictive of a need for environmental protection in our times of climate change, war and social calamity."
