Nicomede Talavera Spring/Summer 2014

Nicomede Talavera is an emerging talent from London. He graduated from London’s Central Saint Martins and  showcased his FW13 graduation collection as part of London Fashion Week.  No stranger to collaboration, he’s already designed two capsule collections of accessories for Eastpak. Spring/Summer 2014 marks his official debut with the launch of the full line and accompanying Eastpak accessories.

Spring/Summer 2014 continues Talavera’s exploration of the artist Elsworth Kelly’s work. Asymmetric collages ,minimalist color blocking, and classic tailoring influences inform the collection. The garments also have a consistent oversized drape to them that helps the unique color palette to really stand out. The bags themselves feature lampo zippers, and an interesting mix of materials (leather, nylon) and design details (carrying straps). This brand is definitely one to look out for in the coming months.
