For the 2
nd consecutive year designer Paul
Costelloe is supporting London Collections: Men with a sartorial British
heritage collection.
Blended Jaspe yarns are used to create a modern yet classic
British tweed and micro checks with a salt and pepper colour base injected with
accents of mustard and Chianti. Waistcoats are crafted in the same fabric as
the suit or designed with a slight subtle colour contrast.
Tartan is prominent with a modern twist to the Blackwatch and Lindsay tartan: an antique finish with flamboyant faux pony
hair trimmings.
The collection includes a range of herringbone coats and
bold oversize check jackets with hints of velvet and corduroy.
Pre Raphaelite painters and dark Art Nouveau interiors are referenced
in the collection with opulent and luxurious fabrics of velvet and smooth satin
in dark teal and navy with a hint of burnished gold.
Making its debut at London Collections: Men is the Costelloe
and Sons diffusion line developed for the younger market with slimmer
silhouettes for the more fashion conscious younger gentleman..
