Paul Davis Collection #3

It’s not the crowdfunding that Paul Davis did to finance his collection that brought attention to his menswear line but it’s his creative talent that made all of these happen. Stunned with the quality and awed with the execution, personally, I’m getting a good dose of excitement over this collection even though there were only few provided images. From what it could be like a limited assortment of fall/winter staples, this collection has reflected Davis’ penchant for simplistic style. Mainly, classic revisions were hyped up to create an outerwear driven collection that has a tinge of military aesthetic but surrounded by ultra minimal feel that has complemented to the artistic architectural shots of Berlin.
