The neat and simple knitted jacket is eye-catching. Louis Vuitton creatively combines fur with letters in an irregular layout. The soft tactility and smooth surface show warmth. Black, white and camel are mixed to exude a premium and elegant feel. The solid jacket at WARE-mo-KOU has a simple shape and clear stitches. The architectural silhouette makes a statement.

 

The Slick Jacket

 

Chanel's garments are elegant and refined. In this season, the knitted dress underlines the elegant, simple and easy-to-wear quality. Unlike heavy tweeds, soft wool is combined with bright metallic yarns to show a airy quality and an sophisticated aesthetic. Classic black and white are paired with lightweight yarns to make the special dress. Pockets and argyle weaving interpret the elegant and noble spirit.

 

Chanel Style

 

Function is dominant. Workwear pieces have broader appeal. Lightweight wool and cotton acrylic are worked on the solid item, clashing with wovens to show a tough effect. Stone Island's zippers, panelled pockets highlight functions.

 

Comfortable Workwear

 

Pockets are diversified. Appliques, machined embroidery letters overlapped on some places, mismatched denim panels and digital printing appear on ready-to-wear garments and knitwear.
