"John Elliott has crossed a line. Or, rather, gone over it. At least according to the name of his latest collection for his namesake label. Dubbed &amp;quot;Over the Line,&amp;quot; the lineup was signature Elliott, which is to say full of next-level iterations of guys&amp;#39; go-to silhouettes. \u201CThe nucleus of the collection is made to be worn at night,&amp;quot; noted Elliott, which was evident in both the collection&amp;#39;s moody palette\u2014heavy on black with accents of ivory, charcoal, and earth-tone browns and burgundies\u2014and the runway show&amp;#39;s staging. Berlin Wall-inspired set pieces (basically giant slabs of steel) were placed between ladder-like structures of fluorescent tube lights and massive sub woofer stacks pumping out thumping sounds courtesy of DJ duo Woo York. The effect gave off definite derelict basement vibes, a something-bad-might-happen feeling reinforced by the shows blinders-on, forward marching models. Just watch our exclusive clip below for proof:\n\n\n\nAccording to the show notes, Elliott wanted the collection to be \u201Cprimarily be outerwear-based, centered around wool and leather,&amp;quot; a promise that he certainly delivered on. Bomber jackets come long-line and quilted. Cold weather essential down jackets are bi-color and rendered in leather and suede. Pullovers and ponchos (the cool kind) are fleece-y, but miles away from frat-agonia territory. It was as much a parade of new pieces as it was a flex of Elliott&amp;#39;s mastery of fabrics, as now-ubiquitous sweatpants became fresh again in a spongy boucl\u00E9 or a kemp wool topcoat was more Matrix than classic menswear piece. Also: denim. And lots of it. Elliott&amp;#39;s recently overhauled denim collection came shredded, washed down, moto-style articulated, and in a palette that, refreshingly, did not include indigo. Elliott once said he was coming for guys&amp;#39; entire closets and this collection certainly proved he&amp;#39;s not abandoning that mission anytime soon. \n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
