Thomas Pink’s head of design Frederik Willems took “a sartorial journey around the U.K.” in his fall collection, rattling off such references as the Royal Pavilion of Brighton to the rugged coastlines of Cornwall’s Padstow and the Isle of Skye.
Chinoiserie and geometric prints across ties, shirts and knitwear evoke the pavilion with its Indian-inspired architecture, while key shades of cranberry, navy blue, forest green, mustard and turquoise were nods to the w0rk of Luis Barragán.
Highlights of its four key categories included Loro Piana fabrics for suits in “business tailoring”; a natty corduroy jacket in teal for “about town”; the label’s first foray into jeans — including selvage denim with rivets fashioned from Pink shirt buttons — for “casual”; and a lovely embossed cotton dress shirt and classic shawl-collar smoking jackets in velvet and printed silk for the “evening” segment.
