New York based designer Andre Landeros Michel brought the spirit of 80s nightlife uptown this week with the Version II, the Landeros fall 2015. The new collection blends goth, punk, new wave, and industrial music genres with a nod to 80s band Scritti Politti, with inspiration from the artwork of Dan Flavin and Rene LaLoux and the Tony Viramontes fashion illustrations.
Landeros, winner of the Prevue Visionary Award in 2013 and 2012, recently graduated from Parsons School of Design and was chosen as one of 30 international artists to create an Ice Art & Design Suite for the 2009-2010 hotel season in the Artic Circle in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden. The new collection continued the conversation introduced in his debut show featuring models wearing delicate silk organzas, fine cashmeres, with a mix of PVC, neoprene, leather, and fur.

Interesting work. Is Queerty going to run more about the groundbreaking, genderbending designs for men by gay American designers like Hood by Air, Telfar Clemens, Jeremy Scott, etc.?
Ummmm Yeah
Well if I want to look like a pretentious bored freak with dead things glued to it, I know what designer to buy from.
