After coming across Todd Lynn’s Autumn/Winter 2010 collection I found myself more than Intrigued with his dramatic styling. Most individuals find dramatic clothing for males as couture rather than ready to wear despite the fact the garment is more than wearable. What draws my attention to Todd Lynn’s designs for males is they are far from basic, which can give a male individuality rather than status in fashion which I feel needs to be seen more in menswear.
Although Todd Lynn released his first collection in 2006 he was present in fashion making his mark by designing clothing for music artist such as U2, Bono, Adam Clayton, The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger to Marlyn Manson. Many of the celebrities Todd has designed for have made multiple impacts in fashion for the outfits they wore. After having their outfits publicized in the press many males took these styles and raised the bar for differentiation in menswear which affects many simplistic designs from other designers.
Todd Lynn creates art that definitely displays a pioneering persona behind each detail. As I’m aware many designers have gone towards this direction, Todd Lynn sets himself apart from them for Autumn/Winter 2010 by using sheer fabric, asymmetrical cuts that would be found on womenswear, adjusted to be proportionate to the body of a male without coming across as feminine as well as draping accompanied by dramatic innovative accessories. Many may speak negatively about Todd Lynn’s collection, others may speak positive. Art generates conversation, for that Todd Lynn is a true artist.
