TEXTURED MODERNISM
@MATIERECOLLECTION #SS16
_

This season, #Matiere embraces the concept of duality through the use of unexpected materials on modern silhouettes, creating a collection that is both familiar and conceptual. Together the textural fabrics and technical details harmonize to form a contemporary collection of comfort and function. The br and’s sophisticated fabric selection features both sleek surfaces and touch-me textiles that reflect the idea of textured modernism. Clean, technical nylons infused with pattern and dimension join cot ton jersey and wicking pique for an updated active influence. A luxury lounge grouping consists of dense cot ton slub, brushed cashmere, and 3-D striped French terry. “We h andpick all the fabrication to ensure that the quality and inspiration is there,”! says Matiere Founder #ScotSh andalove. “This collection features some heavy textures that maintain an effortless and clean finish. The color palette, which starts off with a creamy off-white and builds to a true indigo, is reminiscent of the ocean’s raw beauty.” Off-white, dusted grey and city black ground the collection with hues of bleached and true indigo forming almost a capsule within. True indigo is drained of its color to leave only its faintest remains, which was then created in to modal jersey tees and woven chambray shirts as well as a selection of stunning. Outerwear was also a significant focus with reworked bomber jackets and anoraks. Additional silhouettes include baseball shirts, gussetted pants and the continuation of the br and’s loved Henley tank top. “Finding a balance is key,” says Creative Direc tor @Jake_Zeitlin. “We’re creating a collection that is fashion forward, yet always approachable and wearable.”. Laser cut pockets and collarless necklines speak to the collection’s sense of modernism, while split hems and hi-lo silhouettes reflect its streetwise spirit. #Matiere #SS16 offers an inviting dicho tomy that both innovates and excites. I selected this Japanese French terry dimensional striped short-sleeve hoodie Bleached indigo twill three-quarter pant.
