Denim takes inspiration from classic suiting fabrics as tailored looks and Smarten Up dressing continues to impact fashion.
Design strategies
Refresh jeans, jackets, skirts and shirting with suiting qualities and patterns to tap into the influence of Work Experience and Office wear aesthetics.
Fibre and yarn
Regenerative, BCI, GOTS-certified and GRS-certified cotton, hemp and organic linen. Blend with wool for durability and warmth or GOTS-certified silk or cupro for an elevated handfeel.
Construction and finish
Elevate denim through jacquards and dobby or slubbed weaves. Focus on micro and mid-scale patterns including houndstooth, pinstripes and herringbone stripes. Explore fabric-blocked Material Mixes, with denim Spliced with classic tailoring fabrics. Use twill constructions in weights ranging from 4-12oz.
Atypical Basics
Our Ancient Escapes story evolves for A/W, using simple stitched details to refresh denim basics.
Design strategies
Upgrade everyday stitched denim details with colourful threads, using off-beat doodles and motifs to add a fun and playful element to core staples.
Fibre and yarn
Use regenerative, BCI, GOTS-certified organic or recycled cotton blends, traceable linen and deadstock yarns.
Construction and finish
Create low-key mono-material embellishment with commercial appeal via colourful stitched reinforcements, doodles and details
Focus on unexpected, atypical and hidden placements, as well as belt loops and back pockets. Mix small, unobtrusive details with larger-scale stitched placement designs.
Work with dissolvable threads such as Resortecs to aid end-of-life disassembly. Use traditional twill weave 3/1 constructions in light to mid-weight bases of 8–12oz.
