When tracing back to the 16th century——the Renaissance Splendor, men clothing expressed an assertive, confident masculinity through bulky layers that increased a man physical presence. Huge shoulders, broad chests, and an emphasis on exaggerate silhouettes all enhanced a sense of the active body. 

Back to the present, from the current womenswear collections, there is a distinct shadow of the masculine inspiration. Excessively wide shoulders, oversize shapes, outta-space silhouettes were reinterpreted by designers like Olivier Rousteing, Stella McCartney, and Nicolas Ghesquière. However, thanks to the advances of the technology, instead of using padding to achieve the exaggeration, designers these days have drawn much of their attention to new fabrics and textiles to recreate the inspiration. Transformed compound cashmere, lightened but strengthened colored leather, or even Neoprene(widely used in diving suits), these fabrics, which are considered to be easily-shaped but meanwhile lighter, are developed and put into use to embrace the designers’ fantasies. Elements which used to act as the signature features of garments’ decoration such as heavy embroideries, strong vertical lines of cut, and trims encrusted with sumptuous jewelry and gold threads, are now abandoned and replaced by elaborate digital prints.No matter fusions of futuristic fantasies, unconstrained geometric structure, or the transcended versions of those famous photography, technology innovation provides us with an ultimate expression of beauty and romance.

Some people are complaining about the flashiness of hi-tech garments, claiming that they are too exaggerate or bold for the ordinary to wear. However, there are some wisdom of styling these pieces, where as for me, matching these loud garments with plain and tailored ones. A simple white shirt, well-tailored pants with a pair of inventive shoes will be good, and what's more, picking just one of those sophisticated hi-tech accessories like the holographic clutch from Stella McCartney will also be a proper choice.
