VICTOR BANKS SPARKS OF EXCITEMENT



PORTFOLIO.1707
COLORS OF EXCITEMENT



i.s.1707
by Jo Reiner Widjaja




One cannot restrain the fact that new years bring new excitements, people start to retrospect past doings and they start to write new resolutions, its a transitional time. The same goes to the creative fashion industry they retrospect the past collection whilst trying to come up with a fresh take on designs, a transition between the old and the new. That being said just like other any transitions, phases of it are brought up gradually to lessen the the big shock of change, in other words new excitements must stay true to their voice whilst aligning itself with new concepts.  Victor Banks with their Sunday Sketch; Spring Summer 2012 collection has succeed to do just that, bringing up new designs while staying true to their  old charms of a timeless vintage feel and a refined craftsmanship to soften trend changes. New excitements sparks with the use of refreshing light colors of sky blues and yellows while old charms are kept with a polished look with refined stitchings complemented by vintage accessories such as bow ties and case totes.  

Sebagai seorang pribadi, seseorang tidak dapat menyangkal kenyataan bahwa selalu tahun baru membawa begitu banyak harapan akan kegembiraan yang baru. Seseorang selalu menantikan hal-hal baru sembari melihat seluruh hal yang telah mereka capai di tahun sebelumnya, waktu ini ialah waktu transisi. Hal yang sama terjadi pada industri fesyen kreatif, dimana banyal labels dan brands yang menelaah ulang segala koleksi lalu yang mereka miliki, dan mencoba untuk menggali ide-ide baru bagi desain yang segar. Sepeti masa transisi lainnya tahapan perubahaan ini pun dibawa secara bertahap demi mengurangi dampak dari perubahaan. Victor Banks dengan koleksi lini Sunday Sketch; Musim Spring dan Summer 2012 mereka telah berhasil melakukan hal tersebut, membawa perubahan tanpa memberi dampak shock yang begitu besar. Victor Banks telah berhasil membawa desain-desian baru yang pada saat bersamaan tetap setia pada daya tarik mereka, dimana kegembiraan baru dipercikan dengan penggunaan warna yang menarik seperti sky blue, dan light yellow sementara daya tarik lama diabadikan dengan penampilan yang tereksekusi dengan baik dan detail penjahitan yang penuh dengan keahlian. Selurih penampilan pun memiliki kesan vintage dengan aksesoris yang timeless dengan dasi kupu-kupu bermotif dan case tote.

Victor Banks in its third collection uses subtle hues and light weight fabrics, they presented us with clean looks for spring and summer wardrobes, with the use of custom-dyed poplin, treated denim, cotton twills, and soft canvas which really do seem appropriate in a tropical country like Indonesia. "Comfortable, classic, and durable" are what Victor Banks aims for, every pieces are pre-shrunk and specially stitched for long life to ensure quality. And their leather goods derived from authentic 100% cow hide. In the midst of the local brand rise Victor Banks gave us fresh perspective with its Canadian heritage roots, playing with simplicity and a timeless sartorial feel, whilst many other brand tries so hard with extravagant details that seemed too flamboyant, Cole Johnson's direction with simple details makes the pieces a more masculine, but with a fresh take on colors. Who knew a man could wear a fitted sky blue shirt without being perceived as too flamboyant? Look them up at www.victor-banks.com

Victor Banks dalam koleksi ketiganya menggunakan subtle hues dan bahan ringan, dimana mereka mengelaborasikannya menjadi penampilan yang cocok bagi musim semi dan panas. Kenyamanan, gaya yang klasik, dan tahan lama merupakan aspek-aspek yang dicoba untuk diraih dimana hal tersebut direalisasikan dengan eksekusi yang sempurna. Di dalam masyarakat yang begitu menggebuh-gebuh dengan semangat brand lokal, Victor Banks memberikan pandangan yang segar dengan akar budaya yang dibawakan oleh Cole Johnson, detail yang sederhana dipadukan dengan ilmu tailor yang timeless, membuat koleksinya begitu maskulin walau pun menggunakan warna yang begitu cerah. Siapa sangka penggunaan  kemeja yang pas di tubuh dengan warna terang tidak akan membuat orang terlihat flamboyant?
