Sober Dominican

New York based designer José Durán, born in Dominican Republic, combines vigour, energy and virility, drawn with strong, broad shoulder lines, rigid textures, and heavy boots, with softness and grace, delicate drapery and light fabrics. The results are impressive and somewhat mysterious.

And then the color palette, khaki, gray, black, contributes to give the whole collection an intriguing, austere, sandy ethniticity. Is it bachata or the Bronx?
