Of all the Canadian designer collections I try to never miss Zoran Dobric’s (http://www.zorandobric.com) is on my top must view list. It was my good friend Julian at Model Citizen in Kensington, who happens to be the largest retailer of Dobric’s collection, who got me hooked on it. I bought my first piece last summer and the amount of compliments I got on it, in Montreal, got me hooked for life. This season Dobric did not disappoint. Sitting front row I was able to see, as you will, first hand of why Dobric is one Toronto designer to watch.
Each season he plays on different themes, shapes, colours and designs. So with the new masculine edge returning to menswear I was curious to see what his interpretation would be. The collection description calls it “tribal and belle epoque” inspirations for the prints. However, I see much more. There were richly constructed vests done in earth tones, low-seated pants which sat at the waist pockets, deconstructed cardigans and unconstructed jackets. Each look was tied together with either a gold leaf print or tribal jewelry. This compliments fall’s more masculine edge by giving men a new way to look at rich tones and gold without having the tacky 80s feel. For any guy looking for a standout piece a piece from the collection will uplift the simplest look to something elegant and noticeable.
