The direction

Crisp, paper-weight technical shells cut into rounded, architectural shapes, with the utility details kept to a minimum.

Crinkle-washed nylons, dense cotton poplin and a semi-translucent ripstop, in chalk, sage, slate, taupe and near-black.

The work

Trend research, a materials and trims direction and a collection concept to agree the season, then the range plan and tech packs, and on through sampling and fit to production.
