Truly making travelling on public transport cool, prints from this
collection were inspired by the upholstery on bus and train seats
Oversized long sleeved white
tees and white trousers sported small placement prints at the front creating silhouettes
of skinnier short sleeved crew neck tees and shorts. Maybe an alternative to
dieting?
Suits were in colourfully loud jazzy lines with trousers skinny and
ankle skimming. Large bags in
collaboration with Chapman were a combination of soft leather and the same
transport inspired prints in plush velour fabrics.

Still jazzy but more toned down, the monochrome look was used.
Shorts were knee length and boxy or were tailored with pleated fronts. The footwear was in collaboration with shoe designer Oliver
Sweeney. Here the calf leather trainer with thick contrasting soles takes on a
clean minimalistic style void of eyelets and laces.

The collection was not all patterns and prints; the plain fabrics were block
colours of summer sky blues and turquoise on blazers ranging from slim with
long sleeves to the oversized with short sleeves.
Bright pops of oranges brought an alternative to the cool blues. Check
out the Oliver Sweeney derby brogues with their orange nylon tape detailing.
Three quarter length coats were trimmed with rubberised taped seams around
the cuffs and creating a border around the contrasting blocks of colour.Left:
Worn with white Oliver Sweeney Chelsea style
boots with clear soles embossed with an Agi & Sam pattern.
Colours were not all bold. Both the pale pink shade, the rounded
shoulders devoid of epaulettes and the wide lapels softened the usually
structured style of the trench coat.
Pristine white was given texture with a tactile and embossed bobbled
pattern.
UK Stockists include Liberty, Mr Porter and Harvey Nichols.
