Club Monaco launches Fall / Winter 2015 Collection, drawing inspiration from Iceland's striking landscape and the texture and pattern of the land. “It’s all about subtle shifts of proportion,” says Belhumeur. For women’s designs the season’s highlights the 60’s and 80’s style. The style is characterized by slimmer tops, shorter skirts, and slightly flared pant legs, designed with ankle boots in mind. Oversized silhouettes become trimmer while maintaining longer lengths, culminating in an elegant interpretation of proportions. Clean, heavy crepes developed exclusively with Italian mills are juxtaposed with textured fabrics. Sweater dressing is a main focus, with turtlenecks layered beneath luxurious sweaters. “For men’s designs, one of the key messages is that we continue to elevate” and “We’re continuing to make pieces more elegant, playing with the idea of equal parts casual and refined.” - says Caroline Belhumeur. Working with mills in Italy to develop new, technology infused fabrics, men’s fall 2015 designs recreate familiar pieces that bring to mind worn-in favorites. Drawing on the sensations of comfort and familiarity, lush mohair has been introduced to the collection. Chunky knits are paired with slouched trousers and tailored blazers are styled beneath overcoats, finished with luxurious scarves to exemplify relaxed elegance. More Photos Here:
