Self-described modern-traditionalists, Wouter Baartmans and Amber Siegel’s work focuses on beautiful fabrics that seduce and shapes that are accessible yet distinctive.

This autumn, we are proud to announce the Dutch-British design duo for our Design Forum collection.

“When starting a project I always look at the references that come from the client. Much of the inspiration came from the tone and the feel of Black Rain and Blade Runner, which immediately

resonated

with

things that I’m interested in.”

“When working on the concept for the collection we felt it was important for us to carry through our identity of indulgent masculinity with our signature fabrics and refined classic silhouettes.”

BAARTMANS & SIEGEL

Having already secured their status as rising stars of the LC:M schedule, Baartmans and Siegel continue to push their united belief of beautiful craftsmanship and imaginative design. With an impressive attention to detail matched with unwavering masculinity, it’s no wonder that this pair have already caught the eye of industry stylists, buyers and journalists alike.

Their autumn Design Forum collection centres on a strong masculine protagonist with consistent references to their signature design style.

Outerwear and tailoring are among the hero pieces in the range, with a classic double breasted blazer, versatile parka, slick accessories and statement footwear, in high quality fabrics, shaping the collection which can be worn effortlessly.

To celebrate the launch, we teamed up with Baartmans and Siegel on a project directed by Ryan Hopkinson as part of the Fashion Film initiative to capture a masculine and edgy story. Watch the film at riverisland.com/styleinsider.

“This season we’ve kept the collection sharp and minimal with a simple monochrome palette, playing with the use of black-on-black textures detailed with highly polished metalware. A key piece is the chevron bomber - a slick rework of a classic shape.”
