Arctic Denim

Predicted to be one of Fall/Winters key Fashion Colours, this shade propels denim tones forward with an icy winter pastel aspect, complete with an imbued grey cast. Menswear products take on a fresh, cool feel, from formal shirts and suitings to mottled and mattified leather footwear.

Midnight Ink

Over in Neutrals & Core, we see indigo evolve with a dark blue-black tone, introducing a newfound depth to collections. Irresistibly sophisticated, apparel and accessories alike express a formal refinement. Highlights include tailored woollen outerwear and glossy full-grain leather bags.

Tricolour Blue

Finally, in the Accents & Active colour sector, a patriotic shade of blue is injected with a contemporary edge for winter. Styles stand out with a bold, fresh tone, lending a sportive dimension to casual jersey sweats. A play on texture adds interest, as seen with material mix utility bags and fuzzy casual two-pieces.
