Here is a sneak preview of designer Nicolas Petrou’s Spring/Summer collection for his new label PETROUMAN. Petrou works with ‘an eclectic mix of materials, the collection beautifully meshes together through the delicate use of hand-sewn madras fabrics, soft denim, and tribal prints’.
This collection has a neat African high school boy kind of look with the tailoring. When I was in Ghana, one of my male cousins came home wearing his school shirt and shorts with white socks and thongs (flip-flops). I asked her what was up with that because I had seen a few people doing that. She told me that it was apparently the fashion. High school boys would wear their flip-flops to school change into their sneakers or leather shoes at school and then after school change back to the sock-look. I think those boys would wear this collection very well!
I love the mix of fabrics. It’s very experimental! The detailing of the fabric in the first image reminds me of Kente fabric turned into a flat cotton material. The small doses of African print in the other designs is a great touch!
