It’s not often I come across amazing designer menswear that
is the epitome of quirky statement fashion. Michael Kampe has the most amazing collection
of garments that take a new direction in men’s down town cool fashion. The
clothing range has been designed with fabrics such as street-denim which
formulates an electric array of bespoke garments.
Exploded View Collection
Michael Kampe’s label called ‘Kampe’ has two distinctive
collections. The first being the ‘Exploded View’ which looks at the concept of
clothing being a form of explosion, as well as deconstruction that also denotes
the world we live in being well structured. Kampe’s other range called ‘Cape of
Good Hope’ is a five piece collection of outerwear. Michael got his inspiration
for his designs in this collection from a painting entitled “Das Eismeer” by
German artist Caspar David Friedrich.

What I love about Kampe’s work is that you can see evidence of
his architectural influences whereby he is producing interesting fashion that
can be regarded as true fashion design.
The garments the designer produces are hand finished; each piece is focused on
by Michael Kampe as he personally dyes and treats the clothing in his
production place in Belgium. Considering that the upmost craftsmanship has gone
into each garment, Kampe’s clothing is at a reasonable price for designer
clothing when his line is so stylish and exclusive.

Michael Kampe has a passion for design and creating new
individualistic pieces, he discovered a unique way of devising designs for his
collection by deconstructing and then re-constructing existing pieces such as a
parker coat or tailored jacket. For Kampe to establish his final design he then
experiments with fabrics, changing them from the traditional and introducing combos
like printed cotton on foam and popelines with linen. Kampe also gains
inspiration from architects like Lucy McRae and Daniel Libeskind.

Kampe is passionate about the overall style aesthetics of
his collection and says “It is very important to me that the wearer does not
look goofy or like in a costume”. The designer need not worry about the
perception of how his clothes may look on because his designs are beautiful
statements of fashion with abstract and interesting shapes and
silhouettes. Michael Kampe’s work shows variety
in fashion design at its finest. Kampe’s pieces all explore fashion garment
construction disciplines of print, embellishment, fabric manipulation and
knitwear, all with the most unusual pattern cuts. Both collections ‘Exploded View’
and ‘Cape of Good Hope’ present brand new fashion styles and concepts, which
are innovative and unique giving designer Rick Owens a good run for his money.

So, gents, will you be purchasing an exclusive piece from
Kampe’s collection, and ladies are you hoping he ventures into womenswear?
