Paul Davis – Polaroids from Paris Fashion Week

Berlin based Menswear designer Paul Davis recently showed his latest collection ‘no mans land’ at Paris Fashion Week. Although I unfortunately couldn’t make it over to see the range close up, these polaroid’s have given me a small taste of what’s to come and it looks like another great collection.

Continuing the themes of modernity and simplistic luxury that have run through his previous work, this collection is said to be based on “the hybrid looks and influences in this age of increased mobility”.  The range draws its inspiration from artists who have found their home abroad and as such, explores the sartorial mix of combining opposing cultures.

Asymmetrical trench coats, form-fitting parkas, crisp mackintoshes, smart dress shirts, deconstructed tailored jackets – the entire collection strives to capture this new aesthetic and this can also be seen in the diversity of fabrics that make up the collection. With wools come from the Austrian Alps, flannels from the mountainous Biella region, shirtings from Switzerland and waxed cottons from the United Kingdom, some of the best quality materials have been sourced from around the world.

The collection is made entirely in Berlin, with the only concession being a new collaboration with Germany’s oldest tie manufacturer in Hamburg. It’s a collection that’s been put together with care and attention, with detail and fabrication the utmost priority. It’s one I can’t wait to see more of it.
