The Parke & Ronen Spring 2015 collection was named after Dickie Greenleaf the protagonist of the movie, The Talented Mr. Ripley. One of the characters in the movie describes him, "Dickie was probably having the time of his life over there. An income, a house, a boat. Why should he want to come home? Dickie's face was becoming clearer in his memory: he had a big smile, blondish hair with crisp waves in it, a happy-go-lucky face." Who wouldn't have a happy-go-lucky face with a wardrobe like this? The variety of looks in this collection provides all the right choices for an escape to the Italian Riviera.

Taking the track pants to the next level. Here they are in linen.

Finally, florals swim trucks that look manly.

The collection has all the lengths or lack of for your swimwear needs.

You can't go wrong with cool stripes,

I went back stage to get a closer look at the collection. It's all about the great patterns and details on the shirts, swimwear and shorts.

Carlos Campos Spring/Summer 2015 Collection

The spring 2015 collection presents Carlos Campos' tailoring with the addition of modern sportswear.  We had a moment to chat about his collection before the presentation got underway. His inspiration came from a Spanish "public space artist" called El Tono (The Tone). Campos applied the artist's technique of overlaying geometric shapes as seen on his shirting and throughout the collection. Also, he continued working with neoprene by bringing more intricate stitching and mesh layering details to the sweatshirts and shorts. I noticed the models were very diverse and asked him about his selection process. He said he looks for guys that compliment his clothes with their personality. Below are a few of my favorite looks with notes about the collection.
