Bang Pineda's Holiday Collection 2010: Suit to Kill !!

                  Bang Pineda


SARTORIAL ASSASSIN

Imagine yourself wandering in a dark alley filled with smoke and stinky trash bins, and as you come near to dimly lighted post, a young man with naughty smile and a mock 45 caliber magnum dangling on his shoulder looking at you with dagger eyes and raising up a white bag with words-"BANG,BANG"....would you scream?..but wait...this assassin is sartorially dressed up to the nines...!

He is wearing a Bang Pineda's savvy outfit from his Philippine Fashion Week Holiday Collection 2010 at the SMX- a style DNA for men complete with the designer's aesthetics: tailored fit trousers, rock boots well- heeled and a crafted suit over the shoulder like some mob boss...a suit to a kill!

Much to the pleasure of the audience, the designer moved the runway and flooded the dark space they were showing in with focused lights, a move that evoked something of the atmosphere of fears and exhilarating moments as Pineda lift up to his canvas presentations recapturing the dark side of sartorial killing machines of high tailoring and fine crafted workmanship.

Another season, another set of runway shows, this time, Pineda conspicuously focused his collection by sheer impact and grasp to style scenario, making a transition from ‘fresh talent’ to ‘noted established’ one.

Surgically probing through the collections, he participated the Fashion Week / Holiday 2010,

and emerged as talent with creative brilliance in showcasing a unique platform, reflecting pivotal role of the event's stature and grandeur.

Bang Pineda presented one of the the glossiest high-production collection billed "Assassins", with a knack for combining the sartorial and the casual men's line in a tongue-in-cheek way, it made a kind of sense for his bastion of stylish values and personal attitude to men's line.

It was indeed high-spec/ high octane runway performance, there's no one left who does it with quite the bravura of Bang Pineda.

This season,the designer got it all under control, and at just the moment to take advantage of the fact that fashion is turning in the direction of his kind of dark, romantic, faintly noir aesthetic....where he deserves to be seen as a designer who has come of age.

He started things off with white pinstripe vests over looser front shirts and fit-legged trousers.A mash-up of tailored suits but with a slight update: applique cut outs, neat-cut slacks and double-breasted suits.

Bang Pineda does a hell of a job twisting the classics by infusing contemporary look essentials—a pinstriped suit says more passion than power, and a wide band livens up a gray-day suit and a muted black blazer hits a high note when paired with skinny pants. There are perfectly pitched mixes in black and white that are more innovative than traditional, that bring just the right amount of 'tude.

He is in the mood for your black and white combo- schizo style that fuses fabrics, lapels and collars together in a broad selection of precisely tailored outerwear.
And just as the individual pieces are cut-and-stitched jobs, so is the collection itself, producing a run of a crumpled-and-creased free charcoal suits and black vests.
