[/x_text][/x_column][x_column bg_color=”” type=”3/4″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_text]For Spring/Summer 2021, the Reese Cooper men’s and women’s collection unveiled at Paris Fashion Week Online is inspired by nature and presented in an actual river as seen in the collection film. Family and friends sat along the banks enjoying a truly natural runway event.

Filled with a more earthy color palette, yet with bold pops of orange, blue and yellow in select men’s pieces, there’s a relaxed and calming feel to the overall collection. A custom camo print weaves its way throughout the collection and a beautiful rock print on a bag and outerwear are definite standouts for the season.

Baker brand and the Spring/Summer 2021 menswear collection shown during Day 2 of Paris Fashion Week. The film created for the online event features the grandfather of designer Reid Baker, and was more of a home movie that was genuine and heartfelt — one of the most captivating fashion films that this editor has seen. It’s a story of life lessons passed from one generation to another, reflections of life including the good and bad, and hopefully new generations learning from these life lessons.

For the tailored collection presented, it’s a clear retro nod to a time of more sophisticated and formal dressing, but with clear modern influences that shatter conventional looks. There’s a mix of textures in an overall subdued, earthy palette with red accents, the brand monogram, and check prints for added interest.

The result is an elevated collection filled with practicality — packable, wrinkle-resistant fabrics created by the brand. The color palette is more soft and faded with a mixture of earth tones and soft pastel hues with stripe and check prints for accents. It’s an easy to mix and match collection which allows for greater individual style.
