It hardly counts as wanton wardrobe promiscuity, but Jay Vosoghi has detected a loosening of the ties that once kept the Boglioli man wedded to a go-to silhouette. "We definitely have more flexibility to play with, more agility. I think now people will dress with a fluid trouser for one look and then maybe a suit that is very tailored. There is less conformity and more mixing up," said the designer. Which is why for some looks in this vaguely '70s (whoa, brown and yellow), softly tropical-touched collection, Vosoghi paired a soft-chested, tailored-shouldered, longer-hemmed, and higher-vented jacket shape with what he called a "palazzo trouser"—higher, wider, drapier. For others he kept the jackets shorter with a trouser that was full above the knee but narrow below it.
The colors and fabrics were somewhat bold as well, especially a blue-piped and contra-colored shirt in bordeaux silk inspired by South American '70s soccer stripes, and a soft, bottle-green suede jacket over more bordeaux. There were also open-weave knit polos, summer foulards, a pukka printed resin-coated silk windbreaker, broken eveningwear (jacquard jackets and linen pants), and matchy-matchy printed cotton-linen short shorts and a short-sleeve shirt. All were ingredients in Vosoghi's convincing recipe for dandified deconstruction.
