soft fabrics

The concept: Comforting, free flowing and soft fabrics are set to drive these knitted looks for s/s 23, as designers have started to explore the limits of ambiguous protective fashion through hyper- functional clothing. This is hugely influenced by the covid-19 pandemic and having to shield away/ communicate a ‘thick skin’ for protection.

Materials and details: introducing Soft to the touch, structured and padded knitwear, paired with flowing materials embodying this idea of protective layering as seen in the Marc Jacobs ready to wear collection of 2021. This collection is an important reference, inspiring this billowing, off the skin look - anything that hangs away from the body, wraps around, contrasts to the layers already created.
