Gant by Michael Bastian Spring 2013 Collection

Posted on Sep 18, 2012 in Fashion

Inspired by the Galapagos Islands, the Gant by Michael Bastian Spring 2013 collection is typically youthful, sexy, upbeat, colorful and casual. Let’s go shopping. But first, we need to answer the sudden need for a big, fruity cocktail.

Cute, but hardly groundbreaking.
- Rand Ortega
  
  My thoughts exactly. The YSL safari homage (look 4) was nice, & the boy sweaters are cute; nice styling overall. Just fun active wear you can get at Urban Outfitters, American Eagle, Gap or Banana Republic.

    Exactly my thought. I could find all of this in my local mall.

abercrombie realness.

Okay, I’m going to get my insufferable b***h pants on here.

Having actually traveled to the Galapagos Islands, I can say that these clothes have absolutely nothing to do with those islands other than being suitable for being on the equator.

  No, they wouldn’t work on the equator. Who would wear that many layers when the temperature is over 90 and the humidity is hitting 100 percent?

    Speaking of humidity… I love that the models’ hair looks like it is reacting to it like whoa. Quite the attention to detail there haha
    - you’renotmysupervisor!!
      
      snaps up for the “like whoa”
  - another_laura
    
    FWIW Galapagos is not like Singapore and mostly pretty dry so layers just. might. work. But you get what I mean.

  Yeah, it’s pretty clear that “Galapagos” is just code for, “We can’t just call it ‘safari,’ that’s been done too much. What’ll sound fresher?”
- Cathy S
  
  I was just thinking this. We went this summer and I’m not getting Galapagos at all.

Yikes. It’s like they took a frat-douche, a hipster and a big queen and blended them together like Jeff Goldblum in “The Fly”.

“help me!”

Too casual for me. I wear casual of course, but am not impressed by it in a fashion layout~~~
MilaXX

nah, I could look for less this entire collection at Target

Where are pants appropriate spring wear?

I dunno. These just look like clothes.

the boy birkenstocks are making me feel pukey.

Cargo pants? Really, Gant?

I actually like some of this: the ombre jeans in the center, the woman’s look 2nd from the bottom, and the woman’s camou tank with red cargo pants. I enjoy prep clothes!

Some of the men’s shorts are downright scary: the red ones in the first row with the dirty colored birkenstocks; the olive green ones in the 7th row with the hiking boots with no socks and the headband I could have lived my entire life without ever seeing. The only outfit that I actually like is the grey pants and jacket with the white shirt and red stacks. The rest is basic trustafarian.

  “Trustafarian”….snort.
holdmewhileimnaked

i cant believe those things of high school are actually back–meaning: sweater thing w/ hood fourth row down, right. took almost an entire millennium but here they are. exactly as were, btw. although maybe they were blue.

edited to add:
also i think they added the pretention stripes. this time meaning: the south or central americans who created the originals, proud of their handweaving, made sure the stripes all went the same way.

  Ugh, the drug rug! Can’t you just smell the patchouli, cloves, stinky beater cars and cheap beer now?
LesYeuxHiboux

Wearable! I love the ladies shorts and cropped trousers, and the blazers for both genders. Some nice separates despite the grubby rich-hippie styling (my university was right up there with Reed and UC Berkeley for rich hippies).

Boring. Next stop: The Gap

Did I see a pair of water buffalo sandals?! LOVE them! Also love the other flat sandals worn here.
save_the_hobbit

ugh, the shoes…

This is a collection? Really? The clothes are cute, but everything here can be picked up at any Macy’s, Gap, American Eagle, etc.
bitterk

decent enough but nothing special here

Not loving this at all. It’s just so much beachy J Crew wear.
Zippypie

Basic department store.

Galapagos Islands my pasty Northwestern derriere. The title should be “Portland hipsters stylishly frozen in the headlights.”

Sorry, but most of this looks like it comes from the “clothes for douchebags of both genders” collection.

Fun for the younger set, I suppose, but it all looks very interchangeable. I do like the sandals with the big “x” at the ankles.

All of this could be found at your local Old Navy.

  For a hell of a lot less….NEXT!

It seems sort of Eurotrash goes to Jamaica. Not my favorite.

I likes the menswear more than the womenswear
Melvis Velour

Look #21 was kinda cute – the white norwegianesque sweater…probably would only work on that model who I’d also take…

Mall Clothes, Abercrombie and Fitch to be exact.
Coralie Legister

I can only see 2 models here that don’t look like they were stopped for a photo at the mall.
oohsparkley!

I was thinking Frat boy then …the Birkenstocks made me LOL. The coolest kids in school.
BigWhiteGrannyPanties

This collection looks sort of Ho Hum to me. People in the Rockies have done some version of dressing like this since the 90′s… perhaps it’s a new discovery for a designer to hit the chukka boots, peru/cotton sweater, cargo thing – but it’s pretty de rigeur here.
ccm800

I want about 75 percent of all the dudewear
