FASHION As a key element of the collection, the featured patterns used also draw inspiration largely from Porsche cars. Classic textures, such as Pepita, herringbone, and the popular houndstooth car seat pattern, get an urban upgrade with clean, contemporary silhouettes, and technical details. The quilted finish on pieces like the Diamond Quilt Airlift Jacket is also based on the renowned Porsche seats. This season’s collection also sees the popular TecFlex material taking a leading role. An integral element of numerous designs, it is used as both a stylish accent and a structural pattern. Keeping with tradition, leather also plays an important part in this season’s assortment. Striking embossed textures, motocross-inspired elements, and special details – like a detachable fur collar and logo underlay – add a distinct sense of authenticity and quality to key pieces, such as the TecFlex MotoX Jacket and the aviator-style Leather Bomber Jacket. In addition to outerwear, the Porsche Design Autumn/Winter Collection includes a full range of accessories, bags, eyewear, footwear, and men’s jewellery. The collection is available worldwide, as of July 2019, in Porsche Design stores and online at www.porsche-design.com. Issue 41 2019 The Art of Luxury 37
