Wonders never cease in Ted Baker’s Autumn/Winter 2016 (AW 16) collection.
A curation of curiosities and sights to behold, the season unearths a treasure
trove of rare wonders and sartorial spectacle. A metamorphosis of artful prints
and wondrous patterns gives a nod to watercolours and still life scenes on
linings and fabrics.
For the Gentleman
Painterly florals and oversized leaves; jacquards on knits and chevrons
on jersey explore scale and perspective, while paisley is exhibited across
coats, polo collars, shirting and statement blazers.
For the ladies
Ted’s new womenswear prints cause a spectacle
of romance and radiance. Gaze as layer upon layer of decadent blooms fall on
the Twilight Floral print, while the
Shadow Floral motif is beautiful and beguiling. The AW 16 colour palette
includes rich burgundy, deep dark reds and earthy greens that evolve into burnt
orange, flashes of pink and teal, and the lightest touch of pastels for the
warmer months. Ted explores treasures from days gone by with 60s and
70s-inspired swing back coats and structured tunic dresses in touchably luxe
fabrics. These pieces evolve into modern classics of salt and pepper culottes,
boucle jackets and an eye-catching checked cape. The silhouettes of the season
come in the form of a beautiful lace skirt, decadent ombre jacquard dress and a
breath-taking ballerina skirt so beautiful time appears to stand still. Bringing
the look into the here and now, Ted’s outerwear is a modern marvel with
reworked leather bombers, biker jackets and parkas for gents. Luxurious quilted
wool coats are given a showerproof finish, while the introduction of the Ombre
Jacquard coat, with its subtle colour blocking effect, to add a little mystery.
Ted’s
‘Phormal’ range features a plethora of tonal printing, mini florals, velvet
collars and exquisite compositions. Wool and silk-blend suits in staple grey,
black and navy leave a timeless impression in modern and fashion fits, while a
dash of charisma and eccentricity features in the Global range. The
collection’s gold and black velvet jacket is a rare wonder…a mainstay piece in
any permanent collection.
For AW 16 Ted takes us on a journey of discovery to unearth trinkets and treasures, curiosities
and curations. The collection will hit Stuttafords in February 2016 (South Africa).
