PASSAGE

Spring TrendsThis trend puts the focus on the intrepid spirit of the modern man who craves the romance of a simpler time. Tailored shapes prevail, while joyful patterns and bold hues live side-by-side with sun-faded pastels and rugged time-honored fabrics. Think old Havana and Ernest Hemingway.


UNDERCOVER

Spring TrendsClassic tailored clothing is reinvented with smart fabrics, edgy details and hidden layers for an overall sophisticated approach at form and function. Inspired by classic spy films, this trend reinforces the importance of utility but does not take away from handsome tailoring.


NEARSHORE

Spring TrendsA postmodern approach to coastal classics. With clean lines, multi textures, and subtle utility, this trend draws inspiration from surf culture but updates it to fit a new luxury consumer. This trend fits well with athleisure apparel but mixes fabrics and items with less obvious active influence.


JOYLAND

Spring TrendsThis final trend is admittedly a bizarre exploration in psychedelic surf and grandpa grunge. The look is intentionally undone, and the lines are decidedly blurry between decades and influence, leaving us with an exciting new realm of colors, surfaces and proportions.
