Toronto-based designer Andrew Coimbra showed a clean, highly-tailored, elegant collection, influenced by a few contemporary artists. The use of abstract imagery, simple, geometric, even rudimentary shapes, and raw traces muted colours like yellow, green and pink were inspired by the work of Jean-François Lauda, Keith Coventry and John Zabawa, and showed a more chic side to the city wear look. However, don’t get it twisted, there were other graphic, bolder looks that reminded us more of that urban quality. It was also reinforced in accessories like the bucket hat and the oversized anorak, but also in the music, that was reminiscent of rap icons like Angel Haze and Missy Elliott.
