London based design team Marques' Almeida are known to evoke the post-grunge Ninties era in their garments and for their FW13 collection they did not shy away from their iconic aesthetic. However, the designers took a rough-luxe take on the era, combing the industrial and baggy skater with raw silks and slashed denim. Semi-court shoes with their signature clompy soles added a splash of sophistication to the skater child, along with silk parkas and luxurious ink and maroon biker jackets-the pinical of Ninties fashion. Pushing the boundaries, Marques' Almeida even tackled the gown but of course to their own ethic; with huge balloning trousers to bring us back to the collection's raw nature, whilst transparent knits were slashed, torn and trailed. Marques' Almeida certainly bought about a sophisticated nostalgia to street.
