One of the first brands that I came across with during my early trips to Europe was Sébastien Blondin, French and yes Made In France menswear label , created in 2010 however making its debut a few years back in Pitti Uomo, Florence and has become regular every season in tradeshows like Tranoï in Paris.
The designer and creator, Sébastien gladly presented a series of garments and explained his inspiration for the Fall-Winter 2015-16 Collection entitled ‘Tokyoite’. As the name suggests, it draws inspiration from the Japanese City; Tokyo- Nocturnal and  urban landscapes, the lights and colors of an impressive metropolis that refuses to rest - All of these elements play in combination with Blondin’s particular allure, elegance and special attention to detail featuring a palette of red, black, grey and light king blue in leather jackets, patterned fabric in long coats with asymmetrical cuts and fitted t-shirts. A high-end fashion man walks the streets of the Eastern Capital.

Special thanks to Sébastien Blondin himself and his assistant who gladly showed-off a couple of pieces!
