GIRLS.

This season it’s all about girls - casual girls, dressed up girls, good girls, bad girls, cre-ative girls and cool girls. For SS16 Sewn Agency brings you a host of London based based brands all spear headed by women with a strong sense of direction and a clear sense of identity. In this spirit, we would like to introduce; Feldt Clothing, Hide-Label, Illustrated People, Jakke, Silver Spoon Attire & This is Welcome.

Also including our long term collaborators, Libertine-Libertine. Although heralding from Copenhagen this design collective has an international feel and base, not limiting them-selves to their Scandinavian stomping ground. Libertine-Libertine chooses to both design and influence wise, embrace cities like LA and Paris, letting this lead the way and inspire their collections. An attitude to life that also resonates with our UK based designers.

For the last three seasons we have created the Sewn Zine, to make it easier for you as a buyer and press representative to access our collections and get to know the brands a little bit better. In this issue no.3, as in every issue, you will find in depth press releases next to an edited preview of each brands look book and easily downloadable collection information by the use of QR codes.

We hope you enjoy the Sewn Zine as much as we have loved discovering and presenting the SS16 Sewn Agency collections.

xoxo

The Girls, Sewn Agency

Feldt is a contemporary London based brand launched in 2014 which takes a refreshing innovative approach to womenswear in adopting a menswear aesthetic to tailoring masculine shapes to a feminine frame with a unique utilitarian modernist look. Designer Audrey Littman sources her inspiration from the authenticity found in nature, people and places along with her upbringing in rural Sweden in crafting innovative, clean, precisely tailored collections, which are effortlessly elegant with a tomboy spirit.

This season narrates a story of the Great British summer, the intermittent weather, distorted seasons and eternal quest to find a weatherproof wardrobe. A narrative which is set by the use of colour within in the collection, as a spectrum of deep blues reflect the pallet of the sea, off white and grey mélange tones mirror the changing summer sky while burst of vibrant orange bring warmth to the collection. All of which is translated across the finest quality fabrics, Breton stripes, classic ginghams and Feldt’s cotton/linen dyed drills.

SS16 sees Feldt create a dynamic and versatile collection of lightweight worker wear staples, traditional Korean inspired wraps and relaxed tailoring to keep cool yet stylised in the blistering heat, while softening the chill from summer showers. Feldt continue cropped versions of the waxed parka and mac for the summer, to layer upon cotton drill co-ords and seersucker gingham dresses and trousers. All together bringing a nostalgic feel to the collection, as Feldt, continue familiar silhouettes, while cropping and widening length to keep cool on summer walks in the forest or city commute. Feldt embodies timeless sophistication through finely crafted pieces, creating everyday clothing for all seasons.

This season see’s This Is Welcome challenge the belief of the Aluminate and drift back to a time when baggy flares and ribbed tees were a casual girl staples and the belief that something could be out there was more real than the government.

This Is Welcome pays homage to the Godmother of Grunge, Kim Gordon’s cult 90s label X-Girls, which echoed the sentiment of a generation of girls who just wanted one thing from fashion, for clothes to actually fit them properly. Rejuvenating this prep look that feminized skater and riot grrrls, TIW brings a new lease of life to this girl gang aesthetic, delving deep into the 90’s subcultures, recalling teenage memories of x-files, ringer tees, micro pleats, and razor neck lines. The TIW silhouette remains linear and fitted not skintight, with loose fitting slips, ribbed knee length dresses, floor length flared skirts and slimming pleated pyjama pants. While oversized MA1 bombers, baggy flares and dungarees, epitomizing teen spirit of the season.

The predominate colour pallet of the collection remains neutral yet youthful, brightened by bursts of camo, Indian orange and army sage green. Combined with iconic X-Files imagery, alien head and spaceship patches. Designer Lis Eriksson places greater emphasis upon colour blocking and textures, this season, sourcing pleat inspiration from Issey Miyake, in creating micro ribbed jersey dresses and floor length skirts which effortlessly sculpted the silhouette yet still looks and feels casual. Once again This Is Welcome creates a collection, which treads the line between tomboy and girly girl, which promises to flatter the manifold body types of adolescence and beyond.
