Urban Leisure: WGSN







A strong focus on rounded silhouettes and

t

echnical layers at the Paris shows drives an urban-feeling, engineered look for autumn/winter 2011/12.

Sportswear and tailoring influences overlap to combine ergonomic functionality, sophisticated fabrics, and pared-down detailing with sharp formalwear themes. The overall mood maintains a youthful edge because of the serviceable, yet smart appeal of the garments, and a muted palette shot through with neon brights. Soft lines and exaggerated scales are important - but in a structured, rather than slouchy way. Structured details include sharp lapels, shoulders, pockets and armholes.
