The Brazilian fashion designer Alexandre Herchcovitch did one of the best menswear collection presented in January, at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. With songs of Andrew Bird used as soundtrack, Herchcovitch did his own interpretation for the mariners. But nothing to do with Querelle or any other gay fetish towards this theme.

His man is real and can be found in any big city in the world.  They are into modern textiles, like tyvek and nylon, and into details. The stylist Mauricio Ianes edited the pieces all mixed, creating a very cool composition. Gold with plaid pattern, dots combined with printed stars, and some hats that doesn’t show the face of the models.

As always, the tailoring of Herchcovitch’s clothes is amazing and this time is not different. You should at least try one of his white and basic shirts to realize how perfect it fits. In this crisis era, it can be a good and safe investment. The bad news is that this collection will not be selled on his on-line store this season.
