The designer aimed to rework classic men’s wear styles, combining elements of iconic pieces and outdoorsy influences.
The designer souped up his usual city/country hybrid garments with Italian racing elements.
Hybrid outerwear pieces morphing generic tailoring, military and casual men’s staples were among the leitmotifs.
Looks with a military edge have been striding across the Paris runways, although they’re more of the Boy Scout rather than the Général de Gaulle variety.
Reflective stripes, rugged patches, zippers and pockets galore were key features of this outdoors-y collection.
The designer delved deep into collaborations, with outfits produced with brands including Carhartt, Karrimor, The North Face and Levi’s.
By collaborating with The North Face, the designer is tapping into the current craze for Nineties sportswear.
