HOW DOES A FASHION DESIGNER RECONCILE TODAY’S CONSTANT CHASE FOR THE NOVEL AND NEW WITH THE VALUES OF LONGEVITY AND FUNCTION?
What can be seen as a funky design detail on a pair of wide-legged trousers and that would appeal to the experimental streetwear set is in fact what the brand dubs “step-through cut-outs”. Essentially openings on each pant leg just above the knee, they can function as cuffs – pass one’s feet through and you get a pair of tailored bermudas with an elegant train effect down each leg. Pair with the matching madras-checked cropped jacket – inpired by the classic gentleman’s tailcoat – for a cool spin on the tailored suit. Meanwhile the tee here sports the same cut-out effect: Depending on how one wears it, it can look like a statement tee with a hole in front, or a mullet-style top.
