Date Posted: Tuesday 4th September 2018
American Designer Shayne Oliver has announced his collaboration with fashion brand Colmar to create A.G.E. (Advanced Garment Exploration), a space for research and development, hosting the art direction of international talents who reinterpret the DNA and heritage of the brand, creating casualwear that mixes innovative and technological materials.
The Apline ski-collection includes outerwear with double sleeves, double hoods, oversized and unisex fits, garish colours and shiny fabrics associated with cool tones and opaque fabrics borrowed from the technicality of ski-suits.
Giulio Colombo, CEO of Colmar comments, 'Seeing how Shayne Oliver has interpreted our history was definitely interesting, The association between our two worlds, if at the start I thought would be difficult to see, has produced amazing results. What I appreciate is that while reworking iconic pieces of the past in an extreme way, Shayne has been able to preserve their soul and so it is easy to guess which jackets, sweatshirts and trousers were his inspiration'.
Shayne has designed three separate collections for Colmar A.G.E.The launch collection will be available in Browns, Dover Street Market NYC and additional premium retailers globally.
The launch date of the Shayne Oliver Colmar A.G.E collection is to be confirmed.
