Aside from their esteemed craftmanship of handmade leather goods, French brand, Coltesse, is taking another big leap into the fashion industry with their debut line of men’s shirts. The Summer 2013 editorial, shot by Mathieu Missiaen, is full of fragmented folds resulting in fanciful and thought-provoking sorts of symmetrical patterns. Two key elements focused on were the fundamentals of consolidation and the collection’s range of exclusivity. The influence for this line was based heavily on minimalism with just the slightest, singular bold detailing on each garment from the vertical breast pocket and stunning Japanese fabric, all the way down to the angular style hemming at the base of a few select pieces. It is clear that this brand yearns to constantly make the ‘simple’ refreshed and unparalleled with artistic assistance to aid in its wearers standing apart from the crowd. By taking the basic and making it magical, Coltesse proves that minor detailing can have the loudest voice.
