For spring/summer 2016, Kerem Tezgel has created a unique collection of menswear that plays on ethnography and current fashion trends.
Kerem is a creative director and fashion artist in Istanbul, Turkey. Having studied art history, Kerem vividly draws on elements of Turkey’s past, merging them with current styling.
Last week in an interview by a Californian marketing company that was conducting market research on shoes, I voiced my disappointment that men’s fashions were not keeping in step with women’s trends.
As the women’s market has been flooded with the high heels and platform shoes of the 1970’s, men’s shoes have remained relatively low.
At least, Kerem has ventured into a slight wedge-type platform in his spring/summer collection. I expect more designers will acquire similar or greater boldness.
See more of the collection on the e-magazine at Men's Fashion by Mark.
