It makes sense, then, that the designer sent out a confident message and kept his collection tight and centred around masculine looks in a mature colour palette that started in grey and oat-y tones and wandered , in bright tan red and sage-y green.
Out came oversized blazers, beneath which were belted jumpers and blanket skirts and serious boots with a hint of a walking sock. Backpacks - for every intrepid traveller requires one - accompanied most looks, as did slicked-back, plaited hair to emphasise that sense of masculinity. A similar effect was achieved with the use of cord and pinstripe on those oversized blazers.
