Designers make modern changes to classic looks
Man vs. Machine, a current favorite of my own, is a style that is not for the weak-hearted or conservative.
Jordan White and Charlie Browne strive to create a line that “caters to the creative intellectual” and with this line, that goal is surpassed.
Their innovative ideas and odd view of fashion make their line taboo to the typical fashionista but are the things that fashion dreams are made of.
White, a former designer for Ralph Lauren, fuses that same All-American preppy style with a modern, edgy twist to make Man vs. Machine a truly unique brand.
Through the use of cable knit sweaters, colored chinos and ankle cuffs there is an obvious reference to the classic Ralph Lauren style.
However, White and Browne take a classic style and add some avant-garde pieces to make their line much more modern.
Their juxtaposition of retro pieces is a combo some may say is weird but others find to be groundbreaking. Who would ever think to make a short sleeve jacket and pair it with knee length shorts with a cuff?
A retro flight jacket with navy cuffed chinos and penny loafers?
The bold combinations of yesteryears’ fashions and contemporary style make this up-and-coming line a force to reckoned with.
