Cause We Are Living in a Material World and I am a Material Boy
We are totally digging the Australian label Material Boy right now. Volume and precision become the new key words, moving on and up from the oversized and exaggerated silhouettes of past and typical Material Boy styles.
Designer Mic Eaton takes his inspiration from the history of Australia, and incorporates indigenous Australian art and digital prints in a whole new earthy color palette. We’ve been talking about the return of Goth in a big way and Material Boy totally nails it. Eaton experiments with new fabrics including Japanese silks, Japanese wools and soft leather. Key items include the large button-down double pleated trouser, elasticized baggy crotch wool pant, and cape like cloaks in thick Japanese wools.
