By Helle Mathiesen Q • Where does the inspiration to PME Legend come from? A• have to put trust in your gear inspired us nal frontier your gear is the only thing you have left. Our looks are based on layered styles where we combine rugged styles with heavy washes, structured fabrics and garment dyed material combinations with cleaner styles with rich fabrics, tonal badges with use of mat/shine yarns. We combine the authentic and the new in styles and details. It’s a wardrobe where parts of an existing wardrobe are combined with new parts to create new, actual looks. Q • What is the most important trends for denim A • We see non-denim and denim getting closer. Denim washings on non-denim styles and more outspoken structures in denim like herringbone, although we see this rower bottom) is still important and therefore we see a growing attention for comfort stretch qualities. We see grey and black denim getting more important and attention for more outspoken, brighter blue tones. The majority of the washes still have a natural look and feel.
