My Mission:

What prominent contemporary designers are taking inspiration from military fashion and in which way they are conceptualizing war as a theme?

In 2010 we saw a lot of glitz and glam from Balmain in his spring collection. The line included older fashioned military jackets with poofed shoulders and chains. With the added gold chains of course! It also had a some chain mail as well as gold leafed greece influence as well. Not to mention the laced up heel boots shown here.

 

Most recently, Mackage showed Military in their Spring 2011 collection just a few months ago. The use of military green and khaki is shown here as well as silver stars for ornament. The cut of the pants as well as the belt seem to have a masculine feel and could portray a military trouser.
