Craftsmanship, comfort and cosiness are the prime elements in the collection. It’s raw and masculine, yet warm and compelling: the perfect combination of an outdoor feeling mixed with a laid-back look for the office. The direction is clear: What was old yesterday is new tomorrow.
References remind us of 1950s vintage work wear, checked shirts, used denim, chunky knits with eye-catching and asymmetric necklines, faded corduroy pants, and jackets with a waxed surface. The collection has a story to tell, one that is reinforced by details such as double stitching, contrasting colours and elbow patches.
Colours show a unique "washed" look that perfectly complements the handcrafted features seen throughout the collection. The colour scale comes from a beautiful, but rough, fall landscape: wood, earth and a characteristic autumn sky, interpreted in shades of red, green, grey, brown and blue. Check patterns are an strong underlying theme.
The collection also contains a timeless, classic element interpreted in the best Cottonfield style: chinos, slim jeans, shirts, V-necks, knit cardigans, polo shirts and sports blazers. The fits are perfect, comfortable and can be adapted to any occasion with a tie or a warm scarf.
In Autumn 2010, Cottonfield manages to create a cohesive, strong collection that deftly combines a raw vintage expression into a new, inspiring design.
