AW18
AW18 Sybarite
Our AW18 collection curvets onto Concorde haute haste, straps its seatbelt tight and soars supersonically back to the sybaritic side of Seventies New York and an evening of egregious excess in the company of the poodle-faking playboy par excellence of the period, Gunter Sachs.
The opening of Concorde’s rocketing Mach 2 route between London and New York in 1977 resulted in the rebirth of the jet-set and a special relationship of a new, careering, carnally charged kind between the UK and the USA.
And the hidden hub of these high jinks was 101 East 63rd Street, the stunningly slick steel and glass Paul Rudolph-designed townhouse and hooley haven that Sachs held so dear he had to put his hand in his pocket and purchase.
This is a richly coloured, tactile-to-the-touch collection that captures all the louche, uninhibited luxe of an age of auspicious and adventurous self-advancement.
Tailoring is soft and relaxed, with wider, subtly flowing lapels and trousers prominent. Oversize wool herringbone lends a sharp lined edge to overcoats.
Velvet, corduroy, suede, moleskin and Alcantara give plush texture and a touch of warmth throughout.
Deep and solid anchoring base colours of chocolate brown, plum, burnt orange, petrol blue and old gold set off sharper tonal accents of the same rich hues.
Optical patterns and shifting, vibrantly coloured tonal spot and stripe prints add clear, heightened points of focus.
Join us as we immerse ourselves in a sleekly stylised age of steamy shenanigans and high-speed spills in the company of a jet-setting sybarite supreme.
