A/W 14/15

4. Concept Form
A/W 14/15
Concept: City Slicker is inspired by the urban, city dweller. Denim transcends every style, which allows it to
become a staple in every wardrobe. Classic denim silhouettes become cool with modern details and trims. This
collection is rooted in traditional biker/mechanic styling and structural, yet soft construction. Made for a ‘cool’,
young professional who lives each day as an adventure.
Trends: Entire denim looks are huge for the up-coming Fall season. Darks and lights are mixed or paired together for contrasting and monochromatic looks. Quilting and pintucking methods update denim looks for A/W
14/15. These details add an edgy look to wardrobe essentials. The tapered silohuette makes for a comfortable,
yet trendy look. They allow cuffing or rolling to show off leather shoes or to play with proportions. Laundry
techniques are used to create ‘worn-in’ looks and contrasting leather pieces add edge.
Colors: Blacks, greys, and dark neutrals are always key colors for Fall. Denim plays on the extremes of the spectrum with an extremely light wash or midnight Indigo.
Fabric: Different weights of denim are used for pants, tops, and outerwear. Chambray is used for lighweight
tops to layer under jackets.
Trims: Faux leather is used to contrast the denim. Industrial notions are essential for this collection
Laundry: Stone and enzyme washed are used for lighter colored denims. Shadow washes are used for pocket
details on tops and bottoms.
Silhouettes: Tapered, skinny, and cropped denim jeans. Trucker jackets, gilets, button up shirts, and basic
t-shirts.
