KAPPAHL HAMPTON REPUBLIC 27 AUTUMN 2011
On Long Island's south-eastern cape, the stressed inhabitants of the Big City find peace and quiet in the leafy gardens and beaches of "the Hamptons". The autumn collection from Hampton Republic 27 is as always timeless, masculine and detailed, this season with a nod towards classic hunting fashion.
This autumn, the fashion conscious man is dressing in warm wool and tweed jackets in fantastic quality. Dark denim returns to the fashion scene and is matched with knitted sweaters in lambswool. These look good worn over a tartan shirt, which nonchalantly peeps out from the waistband of the sweater. To further strengthen the preppy feeling, the look is completed with a patterned bow-tie.
Autumn with Hampton Republic 27 contains a wealth of colour that becomes richer the further into the season we go. Muted colours dominate and brown in all of its shades, from dark brown to beige, is the key colour. Accent colours are blue in cold tones as well as pink and lilac. Later, green tones also appear. Wool is the dominating material; the collection holds everything from jackets to accessories in this warming material. Jacquard patterns and Argyle tartans are visible on several of the collection's knitted sweaters.
As in earlier collections, details are very important. Appliqué in stamped leather, suede and cord adorn outdoor garments, for example on a quilted jacket with classic cut. Autumn's jackets are also lined with patterned fabrics that further increase the well-worked impression.
"The Hampton Style" is permeated by an unspoken dress code: "Always look great, no matter the occasion." Hampton Republic 27 wants to inspire men to assemble a classic American wardrobe that can be worn on different occasions, both at work and in leisure time.
