Franklin Eugene Fall/Winter 2018-2019 collection

by Boyana Ivanova, 16 January, 2018

Mr. Eugene used Tartan plaid and Houndstooth prints along with a few other bold choices and stayed true to the clean lines and clean affect that are hallmarks of the brand.

Mr. Eugene led the way with what seemed to us to be the somewhat British influenced Tartan plaid. While we liked the unique design of the trousers, what we thought was most daring was the street influenced gold hoody/Tartan blazer silhouette (it may have been done before, but we had never seen it quite like it was presented).

Mr. Eugene was smitten by soft, lush fabrics this season. All the fabrics appeared sturdy and alluring. We are good with it. The designer used a magnificent black and red pullover to transition from Tartan to basic black. The only thing we will say about the basic black portion of the range is that it was classic Franklin Eugene – strong, clean, and elegant. The designer was clearly feeling the spongous fabric this time around and used a sponge and Houndstooth fabric pullover to transition from basic black to Houndstooth. The litany of Houndstooth offerings kept things straightforward by the designer’s strategic use of pairing. We really like the black, off-white and Houndstooth silhouette used to transition the range from Houndstooth to off-white. The final portions of the collection have some classic items (like Mr. Eugene’s famed off-white tuxedo jacket) and pushes the envelope (with things like the sleeveless turtleneck and the strategic use of faux tiger print). The apexes of the range, Mr. Eugene’s famed statement tuxedo dinner jackets sealed to deal for us.
