New York based label Rochambeau showcased their latest collection for SS14 at New York Fashion Week.

 

Designed by Laurence Chandler and Joshua Cooper, futuristic activewear for men with athletic undertones and urban street wear detailing were displayed as a versatile and modern take on classic sportwear wowed for SS14.
 
Crafted in wearable, durable fabrics and industrial materials in the form of mesh, leather and sweats layered to perfection creating a masculine and confident silhouette in the process. Body armour, hockey headgear and fingerless gloves were all incorporated to provide the finishing sports sartorial touches. Edgy, cool and youthfully sleek designs were complimented in a variety of contemporary menswear street style infused trends creating a unique collection any modern style conscious man would be honoured to wear.

 

Favourite pieces arrived in the form of oversized parkas with cropped and cuffed bat wing sleeves, a long white bomber jacket with matching drop hem harem style sports trousers and leather centre square panelled shirts. Other noteworthy details include an actual bruise print incorporated, inviting various bold and vibrant colours into the relatively clean and crisp monochromatic palette.
