House of Byfield, Maja Atalita and Andrew Harris @ CIFW Day 3

This is exactly how men can wear print on print! Carmichael Byfield showed his collection especially made for the CIFW yesterday night where we could see a lot of patterned materials from top to bottom...very nicely put together without overdoing any piece. Not only are skinny jeans flattering to a women's curves but these are now in demand for men as well. Male models were rocking skinny pants and printed blazer jackets that are really in style. These are perfect for special occasions where one desires to stand out from the crowd. His collection included printed shirts and pants, belted trench coats, vests, ponchos and colorblock tux jackets. Carmichael started off his show with an Asian-inspired theme which later turned into a full collection of black and white combined with a pop of color printed outfits to later finalize it with a nude see through flower printed button down shirt. You may not be able to see from the pictures taken but some of the white pants had details at the pocket area to give them even more style. To break off the neutral colors, the designer made use of yellow, red, pink and orange. I could see how the crowd appreciated his daring sense of fashion. I only hope this opens doors to embrace men fashion in Curacao even more..! Just take a look at a few pictures I've taken.
