The headline is mostly because the name of this collection is, in fact, "Exotic/Erotic." In my mind, Soulland is, ironically enough, typically neither erotic nor exotic, but for F/W 15 it's spiced things up a bit from normal staple-like lineup. In addition to some of the inoffensive standbys that Soulland puts out, like basic crewnecks and overcoats, the brand threw in more dimension this time around. There are dip-dye jobs for those of you with acid tabs in your back pocket, heavily textured coats for the on-trend folks among us and some trippy, almost artistic patterning as well. Nothing here is too daring though. It actually takes inspiration from early '90s Manchester, like what you see in Trainspotting, though that takes place Scotland. Regardless, it's a kind of edgy movie, but when you compare it to something like, say, Requiem For A Dream, it's pretty tame. Which pretty much represents what Soulland is as a whole: reliable and safe with a little bit of edge for good measure. Hard to find any fault in that.
