No Clowning Around

Oscar Calvo had heads turning during Catwalk Circus when he presented his Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2011 Collection in the midst of L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) 2011.

Calvo’s talent has extended to writing, directing and producing fashion shows with his exciting new Fashion PR and Events Company, aptly titled, OC Communications & Events. His latest innovation, Catwalk Circus was a Charity fundraiser for The Aids trust of Australia, exhibiting Collections from the hottest Australian and New Zealand labels, eccentric dance performances and outrageous jaw dropping acrobatics from over 90 performers to create an entertainment extravaganza!

Calvo’s Collection was the only menswear fashion label to showcase on the night of Catwalk Circus and certainly injected the show with its unique brand of avant-garde, sexy and upscale menswear. The looks were a tribute to the 80’s New Wave California beach culture and the emerging New York Hip Hop scene, cleverly mixing materials like mesh and snakeskin with touches of neon colours with a unique spin, tempering the looks with black, white and gunmetal. The use of unique accents like rope, eyelets and zipper trims completed the Collection and certainly gave the collection an edgy sense of modernity.

Highlighting the collection were tailored pieces with detailed pockets and large covered buttons, fitted shirts with small collars. Also on display hoodies, trench coats, updated board shorts and the label’s signature decadent knitwear.

With this trendsetting Collection, OC OSCARCALVO will certainly cement its reputation as the contemporary luxury label of choice for the style-savvy urban man.
