For his 2nd season on the New York runway, Joaquin Trias used “Vertical Strength”, meaning “all things linear”, as inspiration for his 2011 collection. With a taste for the minimal, he uses form and line to accentuate and exaggerate. Caped wool jackets with plum high waist trousers and an accent of a green leather belt, mole colored silk pants, black long sleeved blouses came decorated with cape shaped toppers. With an articulate sense and beautifully hand crafted materials, Trias is making his mark on a nonlinear crazed fashion world.
