The subversion of country living for city streets – so beloved of eighties Sloanes and their Casual counterparts – finds new form here, together with an element of modern Japanese classicism and volume. Relaxed, wrapped tailoring takes the place of the classic double-breasted jacket, fusing a new, sinuous elegance with a kimono approach to cutting; split hem trousers nod to an eighties Casual code, together with the gaiters of the country gent; sumptuous eveningwear fabrics find more utilitarian form with silk faille and moire taking the place of the technical and traditional for field jackets and informal tailoring. In turn, sturdy British corduroy is fluidly cut to fall with slouchy elegance, its grooves echoing through luxurious leather bonded knits and the subtly expanding pinstripes of engineered cloth.
