MLTV Clothing x Jeff Seltzer
Drawing inspiration from distorted and layered geometric shapes, menswear label MLTV Clothing brings multi-function and versatility to its AW16 collection. Documenting everyday urban landscape, photographer Jeff Seltzer captures harmonious sceneries depicting interesting frames of man-made objects in their surroundings. The multi-dimensional forms and layered structures are observed in both works.
Continue challenging conventional menswear, independent Swedish label MLTV uses logo-mania, a restricted color palette, and detail-oriented design for this season. In a reaction to mass consumerism, many pieces possess 2-in-1 multi-functionality. The collection heavily exhibits layering of fabric, and use of zippers and snaps, allowing the wearer to add or remove layers to change the look, making the collection multi-dimensional.
The 23-piece collection features simple yet defining pieces such as the Logo shirt, with a detachable sheer logo back. The Illusion Sweater’s layers an oversized tee with a sweatshirt creating a design that can be worn day and night. The Bauhaus Shirt, in slate grey, adds a rich depth of color to the collection, and possess detachable sleeves and panels that allow the wearer to reconfigure the look.
Photographer Jeff Seltzer’s work reveals the effect of human occupation within the landscape of contemporary environments. His pictures are made to document a time and a place, static treatments of our everyday modern urban landscape. These anonymous, sometimes featureless structures and locations exclude people but at the same time show the effect of human occupation and interaction. Seltzer isolates his subjects, creating a head-on, cold and detached symmetry. His images allow viewers to see beauty in the everyday and show harmony in the ordinary and mundane that we take for granted.
