AFTERHOMEWORK (Paris) SS19: why you'd better keep an eye on this brand Deconstruction, tailoring and street style

Some say it is the new Jacquemus, who claims that it is the future of French fashion. Maybe. What seems certain is that AFTERHOMEWORK Paris is a name to keep an eye on.

In fact, the brand created in 2014, almost for fun, by fifteen-year-old Pierre Kaczmarek and grown thanks to the help of his girlfriend and stylist, Elena Mottola, conquers for the ability to marry the typical haute couture sophistication with street style and a certain utilitarian aesthetic. These characteristics are the same that allowed the duo to enter for the first time to be part of the official calendar of the Paris Fashion Week with a collection for the SS19 that seems an evolution of the previous proposals.

If the protagonist remains the deconstruction, as for example in the many versions of shirts, accompanied by an interesting love for tailoring, every presented look seems the evolution of what has already been done by Afterhomework Paris in the past: gathered sleeves, trousers enriched with flounces, pieces of cloth modeled on the body of string models, alternating volumes over and cropped. 

However, it has improved, matured. Remains the space for irony in the few graphics present as "Afterhomework Polo Club", an obvious mention to Ralph Lauren or the AHP logo on a black towel that imitates the character of the Calvin Klein logo. To complete the collection there are the squared leather bags of the accessories designer Isaac Reina.
