From Pitti Uomo to the Paris shows, this autumn/winter reveals a new mix of freedom and formality. Hiking references, cargo and uniform details define the mood. For FD Persoonlijk, I spot a few clear directions. This is the second one.
There are so many new developments in technology now, many of which are finding their way into the fashion industry. Materials become lighter, smarter and more responsive to movement. This season, sport appears in unexpected details, from technical fabrics and looser silhouettes to performance fastenings and outdoor-inspired elements. Gadgets and subtle high-tech accents highlight an active mindset. Brands such as Prada, White Mountaineering, Sacai, Woolrich, Kenzo, Auralee and Saint Laurent set the tone.
