AW16 Forecast

Couverture and the Garbstore 188 Kensington Park Road Notting Hill, London W11 2ES, England Mon-Sat 10am - 6pm | Sun 12 - 5pm www.couvertureandthegarbstore.com

For AW16 we introduce an eclectic range of labels to the shelves of Garbstore, bringing together the best of timeless apparel and contemporary streetwear, with much in between.

We join forces with Golden Bear and Ebbets Field Flannels this season to bring you your annual dose of vintage-inspired woolen goods fusing American workwear with the Garbstore st yle. On the homefront, the in-house Garbstore collection works from a for wardthinking stance with an evolution to wider silhouettes and unconventional fabrications.

Our travels for the season saw results in the discovery of some new favourites. On the streetwear side, American label Brandblack shakes things up with an impressive line-up of luxe sportswear garments and re-imagined basketball trainers. For more classic options, Island Knit Works offer specialty mohair jumpers, handcrafted in the Japanese region of Ryomo with techniques exclusive to the artisan behind the label.

Bringing together our favourite items from Menswear, Womenswear, Kidswear, Toys, Beaut y and Homewares, the Christmas Gift Guide promises to make your shopping list easier than ever to conquer. And while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, we might as well mention the launch of our Pump Commuter Pack - a series that features the f irst piece of apparel using the patent Pump technolog y. Bit of a game changer, if we do say so ourselves.

Japanese label Say Hello invite us into their Tokyo shop and gallery space to introduce us to their AW16 collection and collaboration with Common Education. We take a tour around the American style shop that brings together sweets, tees and spray paint in perfect harmony.

I N TH E A B S E N C E O F CO N F LI C T AW16 Collection

Separate to our ‘OK’ and ‘Pump’ Reebok Collections, connections were re-established with the likes of Ebbetts Field Flannels, Full Count Denim and Golden Bear. Garbstore’s take on Golden Bear Stadium Jacket is the heaviest piece of the collection. A thick melton wool with quilted lining, in two autumnal colourways - the jacket is a show piece for quality manufacturing and truly shows why Golden Bear, still remain the most notable American sports jacket producer after nearly 100 years in business.

Across the AW16 collection, Garbstore has collaborated with a range of esteemed brands and manufacturers to further bolster our winter allotment. The collection follows a darker palette - the soft fabrics, textures, and slightly oversized silhouettes give the collection warmth and comfort. Simple shapes have been beautifully constructed with French seams and internal binding and much of the collection’s focus is on addressing the shape and feeling of the garments.

For our utilitarian approach, the clothing labels have also changed to a more minimal and simple format, bringing a new look and era for Garbstore.

Our knitwear is all proudly made in England; a venture with a new British manufacturer produced the ‘English Racer’, a café racer style jacket made from top grade goatskin suede.

The Garbstore x Reebok “OK” collection doesn’t fuss about this time it’s all about simple designs and optimum fabrications

Taking the next step in our partnership with Reebok, we are proud to announce the launch of ‘OK’ - a stripped down collection of foot wear and casualwear for AW16. The range doesn’t tr y to be something that it’s not - it doesn’t have advanced technologies or f inicky gadgets, rather the focus is put on superior materials that create clean st yles.

The label has quickly aligned itself with some of the top names of innovative and dynamic fashions, not an easy feat for a label with only a few years on the market.

And the most mysterious Japanese label award goes to... Island Knit Works. Here’s what we know - the label creates some top-notch mohair jumpers from a specialt y craftswoman in a small Japanese village. We snatched up some bold stripe jumpers, reminiscent of the mohair knits synonymous with the Punk movement, and some cardigans in eclectic patterns. And in case the ridiculously soft and cozy element doesn’t win you over, rumour has it that the technique used is unique to the inhouse Island Knit Works artisan.

Taking notes from Americana culture, Lady White Co. set their eyes on creating the ultimate staple tees for everyday wear. The Californian label keeps things local with cotton sourced, milled and sewn in their home state. The twin stitch finishing and athletic fit give the tees a nostalgic feel (if you were around in the 30s, that is) that sets itself apart from the majority of the basic tees currently on the market. They’re calling it “modern clothing with old personality” - sounds about right to us.

no one can argue with a brand that has basically stolen the premium sock game without any advertising or web presence If you’re ready to get into a Japanese sock cult, Anonymous Ism should def initely be your f irst stop. Channelling some undoubtedly obsessive energ y, the folks produce some of the f inest socks to date. If you ever tr y to research the label, you’ ll understand why they chose their name: they have next-to-no online presence, no press releases and you won’t catch them taking an ad out in any magazine. According to their founder Hirotsugu Yoshimura, they want to keep it that way - the product should speak for itself. With the Made in Japan knitted goods

being a staple among Garbstore staff and customers alike, we can conf idently say - it does! For years the Japanese label lead the way in slub knit st yles, complimented by solid color ways and patchwork options. For AW16 we see things lean away from intricately mixed materials and experiment with fresh colour ways and patterned knits. These guys can’t disappoint.

With years of practice producing quality garments for some of America’s most favoured outerwear names, Cape Heights steals the spotlight with their third year of jackets under their own namesake Originally introducing themselves to the garment world as a manufacturer for some of the top American outerwear labels (Penf ield, L.L Bean, Lands End and Colorado) Cape Heights delved into producing original designs under their own moniker in late 2014. Their New England history allows the brand specialist insight into what is needed for the ultimate outerwear designs, leaving no room

for shortcuts or excuses when it comes to their own labels. Setting themselves apart from their more well-known sister label Penf ield, Cape Heights infuse higher doses of premium elements to every parka, gilet, and overshirt available. Though the style is amplif ied, durability and protection from challenging weather conditions are never sacrif iced, proven in the technical details and uncompromising construction.

BFGF

AIDA DIRSE

BFGF is the LA based ‘art brand’ founded by artist Lilian Martinez. Working with digitally printed, hand painted textiles and natural fibres, Lilian creates high quality products serving as functional, accessible art pieces. Often experimenting within similar themes and colour palettes, BFGF’s signature designs depict dreamy Matisse style scenes and exotic landscapes alongside pop references to icons such as Nike and The Simpsons. Finding the beauty within eccentricities of modern day life, Lilian’s products bare a

quirky tongue-in-cheek quality that is entirely deliberate. BFGF’s popularity has grown massively through their social media presence, especially with their Instagram @bfgf which offers a daily stream of various artwork, curiosities and inspirations. Although particularly celebrated (especially at Couverture) for their handmade blankets and throws, BFGF prints can be found on a myriad of mediums within the realms of fashion and homeware. As Lilian insists that ‘lounging is essential’, a selection of BFGF blankets are available in store at Couverture now.

Aida Dirse is creator of the hand car ved, hand painted ceramic bowls that have become so popular in store at Couverture. Forming a creative partnership with her husband Saulius, the pair have a laid back approach to their craft, working from their home in Lithuania, producing and f iring their ceramics outdoors when the weather allows. Aida’s ceramic bowls have a modern folkst yle appeal, each with a textured exterior and brightly coloured interior baring a unique

patterned design. Often experimenting with abstract dots or delicate brushstrokes each pattern is impeccably detailed and alluring. Painting free hand, Aida says she enjoys decorating each bowl, with the painting process becoming her form of meditation. Ceramics from Aida and Saulius have become a cherished f ixture within our homeware collection, each year offering beautifully crafted one of a kind pieces loved by both staff and customers alike.

“LA based brand offering functional art fusing classical and pop.”

“Introducing the family duo behind some of our favourite ceramics.”

A DÉTACHER “We commemorate our ongoing love affair with the creative envisions of Mona Kowalski and her cult label A Détacher.”

BEHIND THE LABEL Using conceptual shapes, colours, eccentric prints and knits, A Détacher garments are always unconventionally beautiful. Steering away from trends, collections are created around abstract themes such as the lives of former athletes, bored childhood imaginations and self-management for this season.

In the Spring/Summer of 2010 Couverture fell in love with A Détacher and has been proudly stocking collections ever since. The New York label is the brain child of designer Mona Kowalski. Kowalski’s colourful background can be said to have helped paint the canvas of what we have come to love as A Détacher. Polish born and raised in Baltimore, Mona studied political science before moving to Italy to focus on fashion. After heading the design studio at Sonia Rykiel in Paris, Mona left the large fashion house to further pursue and express her own creative voice. Moving back to the States to start her own collection, A Détacher was launched in 1998, opening shop and studio in New York one year later.

With her signature looks always incorporating layering, mixing textures and volumes, Mona told Couverture her winter style is basically ‘wear everything you like at once’. Objecting to the notion of ‘fashion for fashion’s sake’, Mona says she makes her wares with ‘the subway-catching woman’ in mind, choosing high-quality versatile fabrics that correspond to the way people live.

Now with 18 years of business behind it, A Détacher remains operating out of New York and sells to an exclusive selection of around 35 clients worldwide.

WHY WE LOVE A DÉTACHER French for ‘to be detached ’, A Détacher has retained its status as an independent label, choosing smaller boutiques over department stores, and eschewing the rapid and pressurised environment of fashion today. Working with a small team of 4 at her in-store studio, Mona always expresses the desire for her brand to remain personal and collections intimate in size.

A Détacher HQ is in itself a beautiful space located on Mulberry Street in New York ’s Nolita district. Ref lecting the same level of personality and intimacy as Mona’s designs, visitors to the store are offered an assortment of current A Détacher pieces, as well as scatterings of beautiful objects and treasures made or found along the way. Through her devotion to her label, Mona and her team have gained a loyal, almost cult-like following of A Détacher clientele. As the sole stockists of A Détacher within the UK, we feel privileged to have gained strong relationships with such creative minds and eagerly await what is to come!

ILANA KOHN

“Progressive New York young-gun creating modern wares with ethics in mind.”

“Vibrant prints and handmade textiles from fashion new-comer Ilana Khon.”

Suzanne Rae is a progressive womenswear label coming out of Brooklyn, New York. Creating bold yet understated pieces, Suzanne adds subtle eccentricities to staple shapes, choosing between versatile neutral tones and colourful prints created in collaboration with local artists. Ref lective in her collections, Suzanne is a strong proponent of quality over quantity and selecting garments to become a cherished part of your wardrobe rather than a disposable quick f ix. Thus each season’s collection offers clothing with innovative minimalism, both beautiful in design and functional in their composition. Since launching in 2008 Suzanne Rae has risen to fame in part for the strong ethical, environmental and social values expressed through her business. Alongside the label ’s involvement with several women’s advocacy and social awareness groups around New York City,

Suzanne is conscious of the impact of textile production on the environment, aiming for her business to reduce waste and utilise sustainable and eco-friendly materials. The garments themselves are manufactured in NY or Italy where most of her fabrics are sourced. Producing locally not only supports jobs and trade within the local community but allows for closer attention to the welfare of workers and the quality of her product. The choice to develop and manufacture in Italy being a conscious decision to reduce their carbon footprint, stay local and reap the benef its of age-old Italian quality production techniques.

llana Kohn is an up and coming womenswear and textile designer, rising amongst the vast amount of talent coming out of New York ’s fashion community. Based in Brooklyn, Ilana describes her clothing as easy, graphic and comfortable. Having a successful career as a commercial illustrator in a previous life, Ilana made the switch to fashion in 2011. Teaching herself to sew, she launched her label in 2012, starting with four simplistic cuts and slowly evolving her range into a full collection.

With her jumpsuits alone becoming highly sought-after, Ilana’s collections are known for their versatile, relaxed silhouettes, f lowing fabric and energetic prints. Having a strong DIY attitude, Ilana manufactures her own textiles using sustainable materials and produces all her garments in New York. Using her clothing as a canvas, Ilana incorporates her illustrations as well as hobbies such as marbling, into fabrics for her collections. We look forward to Ilana’s wares gracing our rails this season!

With her last collection created under the mantra “I’m not your seductress”, Suzanne Rae wants her clothes to be worn for the wearer, and not for the gaze of others.

In light of their recent addition to the Couverture rails, we spoke to the creators behind New York based athleisure wear label Outdoor Voices to f ind a bit more about the brand, its history and what they make of Couverture.

We think about retail more as a hub to bring people together around activit y rather than a sales channel, so as OV keeps growing, we’d love to be able to host events abroad in the same way we do in the U.S. — get people together, sweat a little, have a beer, and keep it fun.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE OUTDOOR VOICES? The feeling of wanting to free f itness from performance. I’m from Boulder, Colorado, a small mountain cit y where activit y is baked into ever yday life, and I grew up playing sports and running track. W hen I was younger, tr ying to be the best and fastest made sense, but as soon as I graduated from school being active became more about moving my body for my mind and less about competition.

CAN YOU STEP US THROUGH A DAY IN THE LIFE OF TYLER HANEY?

I started Outdoor Voices because I saw an opportunit y to create a brand that f lipped that idea of performance on its head and approached activit y with moderation, and ease, and delight — and something that looked aesthetically more in line with what I was wearing in my ever yday life.

Dog walk f irst thing with my pup, Tony. Then to the off ice, I spend the f irst part of my day with the product team, working with the designers on colors, concepts, new materials, but I bounce around from department to department and tr y to spend an hour or t wo in our Soho shop too, so I’m on-the-go all day. Something we say a lot internally is, “Change the chemistr y.” If we’re stuck on a problem or feeling a little tired, we organize a little activit y to move things around, like our week ly OV Dribble Dribble pickup game during lunch— I’ve got a prett y good jump shot.

THE FABRIC IS KEY TO YOUR PRODUCTS, HOW DID YOU DEVELOP IT? W hile I was studying at Parsons, I became obsessed with technical fabrics and the way material interacts with the body during different stages of sweat. I started spending time at the mills that were producing fabrics for the big guys in the activewear space, and worked with them to create OV Textured Compression, which is the foundation for a lot of the collection. I wanted to move away from that shiny black spandex look and create something that is f lattering, has texture, and hides sweat. We continue to focus f irstly on material innovation with both natural and synthetic yarns. We want people to feel a sense of discover y when they f irst touch our materials. Unexpected, new and novel.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE COUVERTURE AND THE GARBSTORE? Couverture and The Garbstore is a fantastic, major part of OV histor y; it was The f irst place to carr y us. I can still see Ian Paley walking up to our booth and showing the f irst signs of excitement — I was so ner vous. In the early days, I threw aside the idea that activewear could only be carried in running shops and wanted to see OV alongside all the other brands I was wearing like APC. It’s cool to see it all come together. To p : A .

WOMENWEAR EDIT “A collage of shapes, tones and textures with extra frills and trimmings for this Autumn Winter.”

Drawing attention to the neck line, tops, dresses and knits have higher necks, accentuated collars, subtle frills and ruff les. Favourite pieces have a ref ined yet rela xed f it. Tailored shirts combine with loose f it boilers, silky dresses rest loosely on the body, coats and trenches fall towards the f loor. Experimenting with textures and tones, we’ve chosen shagg y fau x fur over colourful prints and layering with velvet and stripes. For warm earthy feels, expect coats and jackets in shearling, leather skirts and accessories.

The women’s edit this season is a selection of classic silhouettes each with its own peculiarities and detailing. Our winter look ref lects the concept of attempting to curate one’s self, but ultimately embracing all of the wonderful messiness and eccentricities you’ve collected through time. Our colour palette this season contrasts versatile neutral tones with bright pinks, autumnal reds and greens. Taking inspiration from heritage st yling and 70’s romanticism, our picks offer a mix of t weed, plaid and corduroy, along with dramatic sleeves, wide legs, f luff y knits and velvet.
