Modern Minimalism
When me met at an event my fashion conscious eye couldn't help but notice the preppy and minimalist style of Karan Berry.
Karan juggles many hats in the creative fields including footwear design, visual spaces and with his partner Leon, has just debuted with their line KARLEO in the Lakme' Fashion Week's summer edition, in Mumbai.
I am drawn to Modern Minimalism as an expression when its used with a clear conceptual edge. I see this in the collections from Calvin Klein blended with the influences from sportswear. This new concept of anti-branding, anti-logo and non-decorative styling finds much favor with me. Here your style becomes more about self-expression and individuality yet remaining anonymous. I am a fan of Muji, a Japanese brand that seems to base itself on this philosophy and has found much success globally.
Karan seems to identify with and incorporate these in his personal style very well. He wears a crew neck long sleeve lightweight knit in purple with a smart fitted, tailored pair of trousers in grey prince of Wales checks, very subtle. The accessories he uses to complete his look, the leather chunky fringe loafers, the bespoke leather backpack, the watch interest me and pleases me the most!
There is a certain attraction in the play of textures, the updated color blocking in the designs, both from the label A.K.A Bespoke, that he is a part of. The contrasts, the green+brown in the shoes and the purple+brown for the backpack are subtle and striking at the same time.
All the best for KARLEO!
