W1B is a womenswear capsule collection that combines contemporary, oversized silhouette and heavy weight outerwear fabrics. Focusing on outerwear garments, this collection layers outerwear pieces on loose fitting dresses, trousers and tops. With original inspiration deriving from London Oxford Street in winter with festive lights, W1B explores reflections and ‘light in darkness’ through night photography. Bold lines and shapes taken from photography have informed the oversized and structured silhouette. The colour palette reflects the winter aesthetic with dark, cold blue and greys, paired with a graphic monochromatic print taken from the layout of shop windows and reflections in photography. W1B has a layered, full and modern aesthetic, amplified more with branded winter accessories. W1B is a brand relating to comfortable designs appropriate for the season, with heavy textures and dark colours in this collection.
