Spring/summer 2016
Collectif, winner of a Drapers Award, was born at the dawn of the Millennium, from one of the most exciting retail destinations in the world - Camden Stables Market. Fifteen years on and we are now producing two lines: Collectif Vintage, inspired by the classic styles of 1940’s and 50’s and Collectif Mainline, maintaining our roots in pin-up and alternative culture. We are a growing brand, with several retail stores in the London area, as well as a concession in LA and an extensive retail and wholesale database, boasting hundreds of thousands of customers across the globe. Collectif is a genuine multi-channel operation; with a website enabling quick and easy retail and wholesale purchases, we are only set to grow year on year. Collectif Vintage offers reproduction clothing made accessible for the modern woman. With designs and fabrics inspired by the 40s and 50s, the detailing on our styles adds a vintage touch to each garment, setting them apart from the high street. We are trend influenced, but not trend led. As always, this SS16, we present a full collection- dresses, separates, and outerwear, including two main themes; Porcelain Beauty and Jolie Artiste.
Porcelain Beauty picks up on this season’s trend ‘soft pop’; combining pastel hues with novelty prints, for a playful, feminine, 1950’s feel. This theme’s prints draw inspiration from ceramics and feature custom stripes and tonal blue florals. Jolie Artiste is influenced by the SS16 trend ‘sketchbook scenes’. The styles in this theme have a lively feel, with matching co-ords that can be dressed down with plainer separates, or combined for quirky ensembles. Fabric prints have an illustrative feel; featuring our stand out, bespoke ‘Paint Pot’ print.

The Collectif Mainline collection keeps to the roots of the brand, with styles influenced by pin-up, rockabilly and alternative culture. Versatility and originality are key to Collectif’s design philosophy; our range is perfect for those looking for something different. We combine new fashion trends and classic vintage styles, along with a good splash of rock and roll! For us, our collections are more than fashion; they are about creating a timeless sense of romance and glamour, set against an unconventional background. This Spring/Summer, Collectif Mainline’s themes are Tahiti Temptress and Candy Pop! With bespoke Hawaiian florals and delightful palm prints, Tahiti Temptress transports you to a tropical paradise. Think sarong inspired styles and floaty maxis, for a dreamy, beachy feel.
Candy Pop picks up on the strong SS16 trend for soft pastels. With a candy colour palette and hints of bad girl attitude, this collection’s looks and prints have a playful feel; featuring mermaids, glitter and gingham.
