Light, bright and pastel-filled, the men’s and women’s collection blended retro styling with modern, urban flair. Wide-rounded lapels on jackets, flared trousers, elongated jackets and even an apron-inspired top, were highlights of the uplifting collection.

Inspiration was drawn from the 80’s, vintage Americana athletic wear, and bold graphic print designs that were translated into a bold color palette. The collection was divided into themed capsules with each capsule offering track suits, t-shirts, hats, bags, and outerwear.

Also shown during the event  was a preview of a new women’s collection launching in Spring 2020.[/x_text][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section]
