Speakeasy Fall Winter 2021
Fall winter 2021, the lords embrace Chicago and the “roaring 20s”. A city that saw great social change. The USA came out from a time of austerity of the prior decade, and the great world war. A new found freedom was delivered by new music “jazz”, feminism, fashion, the automobile and plane. This culture change was in tandem to an attempt to curve alcohol consumption with the prohibition laws. This created an environment for the mob to flourish and the “speakeasy” to become an iconic establishment to party and drink.
The architecture of Chicago, embracing the new art deco movement, the infamous gangsters, jazz, and the automobile have all been interpreted into beautiful prints for the collection. The ‘Rain Camo’ print in ‘Smoke’ symbolizes the windy city and its inclement winter weather.
Chicago became the prominent city in men’s classic tailoring. To acknowledge this, the Dragon Collection sees the addition of the super light technical waterproof worsted wool outerwear jacket and a duck down jacket using this same refined merino wool shell. To complete the group we have added a tailored fine worsted merino drawstring pant, offering refined luxury with ease and comfort.
The palette for the season is dominated by charcoal, gray, olive, navy, warm blue, and highlighted with lavender and gold, to capture the opulence of the era.
