AW'24 “Clothesmongers”
AW'24 “Clothesmongers”
Our Autumn/Winter '24 collection draws inspiration from the early costermongers of London, traders who wore coloured neckerchiefs to denote their trade. The large Kingsman neckerchief was the starting point of the collection, not as a historical item but as a source of reference for colour and styling in a modern take on cool winter dressing.
This season, the flair of the ancient costermonger is echoed in the bold, confident strokes of pattern and colour. A warm, earthy palette is brought to life with textured and tactile fabrics. Cloths traditionally used for wool suiting are reimagined for both practical and tailored pieces, subtly subverting classic workwear aesthetics. Likewise, durable recycled denim makes a statement in both a double-breasted suit and a trucker jacket, while winter twills and various weights of corduroy are transformed into versatile outfits that work as coordinated sets or as stand-alone pieces.
