Photography Virginia ArcaroFashion / ShowPorts 1961 SS15Urban explorers take their cue from the Pompidou Centre, in tailoring that puts the focus on structureShareLink copied ✔️June 24, 2014FashionShowText Susanne Madsen Photography Virginia Arcaro Ports 1961 SS15 Initial reaction: Urban explorer in structured silhouettes and sporty outerwear. Ports meets Pompidou: Ports 1961 returned to the gilded marble rooms of 16 Corso Venezia for SS15, but according to desiger Fiona Cibani, it was based on somewhat more surreal architecture – the work of Renzo Piano, who designed the Centre Pompidou with Richard Rogers. The architectural influence was evident in the collection’s precise construction – cropped boxy jackets standing away from the body, backpacks strapping across the chest. Perhaps in a nod to the Centre's famous structural conceit of exposing that which is often concealed, pockets and contrast zips stood out against garments. The soundtrack: Ports opted for a very cinematic soundtrack. A bit 60s spy thriller, a bit Mission Impossible, it gave the boys a subtle undercover agent vibe. The soundtrack to Ports 1961 SS15: Last season paid tribute to Edwardian England and the nonchalance of the brief monarch. See it below: Ports 1961 AW14Escape the algorithm!
