FASHION RESOURCE FASHION FILE A timeless wardrobe piece that returned as a striking statement this season is the trench coat. For S/S ’19, the indispensable trench explores innumerable varieties of the standard look with variations in its length, prints, material and style. Alexander McQueen presented the trench in diverse ultra-modern designs, paying tribute to the growing workwear and athleisure culture. McQueen incorporated the use of materials such as PVC, satin, viscose and polyester in mainly black, grey, beige, electric blue and pink colorways to achieve this feat. Collar play was a hard detail to miss, from long lapels to basic shirt collars paired with patches drooping from the shoulder; a plethora of such options were introduced. Berthold and AMI kept it classic, confirming the trench’s perennial appeal, while Neil Barrett played with an oversized abstract leaf print. Y/project’s version was a noticeable excess fabric effect combined with dual fabrics and the cling warp effect coat.
