This season Matiere focused on updating looks for the urban global traveler.
One of the few collections that actually designed for cold weather – Matiereused Italian virgin wool, woolen gauze plaids, and luxurious cashmere as running threads throughout, providing both texture and warmth.
I’m a big fan of Matiere’s casual metropolitan looks, and the collection wins as a menswear brand that allows materials to lead the overall design with modern silhouettes.
Matiere S/S ’16 #NYFWM debut was focused on sophisticated fabrics and details that give a strong sense of modernism and streetwise spirit.
Matiere spring ’16 hosted a color palette of creamy off-white that created a build-up to true indigo, dusted with grey and city-black – reminiscent of the ocean. The collection was comprised of sleek surfaces and interesting textiles paired with technical nylons, cotton slub, and brushed cashmere.
