The collection interprets the harsh realities of life at sea through colour, fabric diversity and an array of special vintage wax treatments for a worn-in look. Classic maritime silhouettes such as the pea coat and duffle coat have been faithfully reproduced, while waterproof hand-waxed cotton and leather reinforce the stylish functionality of naval outerwear. The parka plays an integral role, emphasised by a technical foul-weather version based on a Belstaff archive piece created for the military in 1960.
Collection Creative Director Delphine Ninous says
Sharing the same colour palette across men's and womenswear, this season focuses on industrial tones of red, brown, blue and military green. Charcoal grey, black and true navy form a base from which emerge brighter hues such as spruce teal, sanderling, cardinal red and burnished gold. In leather and waxed cotton, colours have been given an aged effect for a unique patina. Much brighter and more vibrant colours are found in the naval tattoo motifs which add a personalised touch.
To recreate the mood of life on the ship or in the docks, models are positioned at varying heights in front of large metallic cylinders around the presentation space. At the entrance to the space, illustrious biker guys and girls hang out with their bikes.
