this fall/winter 2013 collection draws inspiration from london’s modernist youth movement of the late 1950’s. in addition to signature wings+horns utilitarian references, the aesthetic places emphasis on canada’s english roots, incorporating ‘the chelsea’ as a design theme.

distinct fabrics are a focus this season, including customized knits, wovens, and tartans, which can be found alongside textured wools and rich mélange cottons. standout pieces are found in two classic styles, with updated fabric and details to reflect the modernist era – a water resistant, breathable, printed nylon fishtail parka, and a melton wool bomber. primaloft also returns for another season in shirting and vests. a warm lightweight technical fabric, it lends well to layering and offers a “snap-in” function with select outerwear pieces. engineered stripes are also seen throughout the collection on tees, shirting, knit sweaters, and in jacket linings.

three seasonal colourways — oxblood, camel, and deep sea — reinforce cohesiveness throughout, adding texture and depth to the tartans and other fabrics available this fall/winter 2013.
