Two Movements.
Has the combination of American and Mexican cultures affected fashion inspirations? With Adrian Correa’s line, Two Movements, his inspiration comes from a symbol in the Aztec calendar. He seeks to combine it with the idea of all things that a person has that involve the number "2", such as hands, eyes, legs. He goes further into the mystical aspect of viewing it with the idea of soul mates and so on. Here's the twist, it all must have movement to it.
With his line and all the research he has done in Europe and Mexico with "underground street look", he is trying to bring something new to El Paso. Of course, and in his own words, he is not trying to make his Women’s line look "Ho Chic" but rather "a street retro look". Adrian describes his Men's looks to be “ fragile....but yet something has to pop out of the coat and the accessories like a watch".
Adrian created one unique accessory to pop out and intrigue wondering minds. His extravagant stacked glasses attempt to show people how they could look at his line through different points of view. He was inspired to create this look when he saw a man using two different pairs of glasses at the same time, both resting on his head; reading glasses and sunglasses. He thought it was strangely artistic to use two different types of glasses at the same time.
Some words of advice from Adrian: “ The one thing I hate are crocs....and sandals for suits”.
Yeah....that's a definite no-no, guys.
In a sense, we all do inspire each other in one way or another. All that should really matter is that you feel comfortable with your distinct look; plus, as long as you wear it with confidence, what does it matter what anybody else says?
