ALLED-MARTINEZ welcomes its latest collection through a live presentation for the first time since 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This season, Archie Alled-Martinez<\/strong> seeks to reclaim the term “metrosexual”<\/strong> – which hides a homophobic tone – and reinterprets his iconic silhouette from the early 00’s, making it more ‘camp’<\/strong>; eradicating any hint of fragile masculinity and transporting it to 2022.<\/p>\n

Metrosexual: “Urban heterosexual male who enjoys shopping, fashion and other similar interests traditionally associated with women or homosexual men”.<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n

In his proposal for Spring\/Summer 2023<\/strong>, Alled-Martinez<\/strong> makes us reflect on the term “metrosexual”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

‘Reclaiming The Fields’<\/strong> offers an updated take on this now iconic aesthetic from the early 2000s. In doing so, it eradicates the homophobic tone of the idea behind what was the most representative masculine trend of the moment and working to ensure a camp version that removes any hint of fragile masculinity.<\/p>\n

In an exercise of in-depth research into queer theory, Alled-Martinez<\/strong> has turned to the scene of football, a sport that the designer identifies as highly dominated by heteronormativity, but also highly charged with homoerotic imagery.<\/p>\n

Transporting us to the most private area of the camp – the dressing room – in what was the brand’s first live presentation since 2020, the designer transposed this testosterone-heavy, sensual scene into a peep-show format. It distilled the sexual energy infused into the collection, juxtaposed with an homage to the 00s<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alluding to the aesthetics of the gay community at this time, which has already offered recurring elements for the brand, the collection includes a variety of techniques and fabrics that bring the viewer closer to the pinnacle of fashion, as Alled-Martinez<\/strong> describes it.<\/p>\n
