Therefore, a setting of a bustling airport terminal, complete with metal detectors, projections from surveillance cameras and multilingual PA announcements set the perfect tone for what walked out onto the runway.

Outwear was the main focus of the streetwear collection for both men and women (a first for the designer), with a muted color palette for the season. Upcycled pieces in the collection were created from decommissioned military parachutes and all cotton, jersey and fleece in the collection were made exclusively with organic cotton.

This season marked the brand’s first collaboration with UGG, introducing two boots (a traditional slip-on and a zip-front with leather pull) and a low-cut slip-on with interior sock. The collection also featured a new collaboration with Nike, a Heron Preston version of the iconic Huarache.
