orkwear inspired clothing is one of the key themes this
season. Comfort-based clothing has seen a monumental
rise in utilitarian details, especially amongst the outerwear
category. This season offers a contemporary take on classic
worker uniforms that translate themselves into slim line track and
boiler suits inspired by the uniforms of Air-Sea Rescue teams and
DLR operators. Expect to see utilitarian details such as harness
belt straps, functional pockets, practical zippers and drawstring
closures paired alongside performance fabrics like technical nylon.

riental influences creeped in on multiple collections
across a range of garments varying from bombers,
windcheater jackets, robes, to even Chinese collared shirts.
Fabrics, such as silk, satin and other luxe materials
ornamented with lush embroidery or exquisite prints, inspired
by the Far East, highlighted Chinese artistry and techniques.
