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.
