AUSTERE MAGAZINE // January 11, 2016 // London Collections Men: Cottweiler AW16

After a successful collaboration at London boutique Machine-A,
Cottweiler has now released a Menswear collection for Autumn/Winter
2016.

The collection was made from all organic, man-made fabrics ranging
from pine green colours to light beige, while the models are presented
to the public in a field of wheat. This is because some of the fabrics
are embroidered with wheat straws and the theme of this collection is
about “a post-civilized society and the agricultural and theoretical
doctrines of this new culture.”As you can see in some of the looks, the
models are enveloped by tinted cellophane which adds to the ‘waterproof’
agricultural worker look that Cottweiler is trying to portray in this
collection.

Matthew Dainty and Ben Cottrell have created an interesting concept
that brings modernity into agriculture-inspired street wear. This is
a great example of how organic fashion can look fashion-forward and well
thought out.
