The camel active Spring/Summer 2017 collection, ‘A New Beginning’ deals with design contrasts to disrupt traditions. Casual formal wear meets playful workwear and urban inspired outdoor styles. The look is modern, but never too formal, combining casual tailoring with functional details and hybrid solutions. Contrasts are married to create fascinating new results. Indigo and lighter blue in different shades to beige and white are they new season’s key colours.
Bomber and cropped field jackets govern the new jacket lengths. Nylon makes garments lightweight and pleasant to wear. Urban short parkas are updated with outdoor elements such as breast pockets with taped zips and detachable hoods. Military influences manifest themselves with epaulets, drawcords on the inside and a textured, denim-look cotton. Blazers, some with microprints inside and out, stand apart for their understated style.
Shirts are lightly washed, lending them an authentic and clean look in different colours. Ethnic- and cold-pigment-dye-looks create strong accents. Linen blends come in pastel shades with interesting finishes. Innovative garment-dye jersey shirts are both comfortable and ideal for everyday wear.
In terms of knits the brand focuses on lightweight items, straight shapes, new collars and silhouettes. Sweatshirts are all about melange and marled designs. New stretchy fabrics ensure pants are comfortable and fit perfectly. The ankle widths on the denim styles are now narrower, producing slimline silhouettes. Coloured denim in sand-storm-bleached and salt-washed styles adds up to a summery look.
Comfort still plays a big role with tracksuit features in chinos, cargo pants or Bermuda styles. With multi-pockets many cargo pants have that authentic camel active look. The combination of the fabric, dye and wash gives chinos a new casual yet down-to-earth appearance.
