For this collection, the designer creatively plays with cuts, gender roles and patterns. The range of colours is kept easy- going, for example sky blue, rosé, olive green, black and sheer white are frequently used. In addition to those outfits, casual sneakers, backpacks and skateboards underline the easy- going character of this collection.
Julian Zigerli has based his Spring-Summer 2017 collection around the simple word ‘SORRY’ – representing all the things we should and should not be sorry for. It is an ode to creativity, tolerance, individuality- to live the life you imagine and let others live their lifes. No regrets.
“Watching series in graphic slogan tees whilst eating stracciatella ice cream. Running through the rain in water-resistant waxed capes and coats. Having quality time and power naps with reflective and iridescent accessories. Skating with your buddies in the afternoon sun in pleated linen shirts, shorts and dresses. ‘SORRY’, not sorry, never sorry.”
This season also introduces the first specific womenswear pieces from the label, depicting Zigerli as a truly open minded brand. For this season’s collaboration, Julian Zigerli partnered with QWSTION for an exclusive range of reflective bags.
We will definitely keep an eye on Julian Zigerli and on all upcoming collections!
