COTTWEILER FT. REEBOK

COTTWEILER (Ben Cottrell and Matthew Dainty, two fashion designers and film makers) brought a tidy offering, as part of a collaborative effort with Reebok, to LFWM 2017. The collaboration was a collision of old and new - technical and futuristic fabrics mixed with heavy woven pieces - tribal prints, tattoos and accessories, stood boldly next to loud, NASA-like boots and outwear. The whole collection felt as though an indigenous and cut off society, behind on the times and out of touch, had pushed the “fast forward” button by a few hundred years. Typically and true to form from Cottweiler, the collection certainly carried their vision on from what they have done in the past, as they describe themselves as “Concept led designers who respond instinctively to their social environment”. 

The theme was carried through with accessories such as buckets used to carry water for miles, tribal lizard tattoos, and necklaces made of bone, as well as the consistent footwear - a zip-fronted pair of skin moulding boots, giving off the impression of the wearer to be a light-on-the-feet hunter gatherer silently skulking through the brush, as well as a much heaver pair of cobbled together hiking boots, with thick soles and multiple layers of fabric strapped down with quick-release plastic buckles. A typically London street style sports cap was paired with a do-rag to protect from an unforgiving sunlight. Bum-bags clashed with bullet proof vests. These pieces were made for a society and city on the edge of a savanna, technologically advanced, but still having to endure and brave the challenges faced by living in that environment. 

The colours really complimented this whole walk, and Cottrell and Dainty picked these well. Dirty off-white and beige, pastel greens and brash oranges pulled everything together nicely. My personal favourite piece was the open camp-collared jacket - the solid black with a nicely patterned, and not too bright, orange stripe running vertically down the front was fantastic - especially when paired with the matching tailored trousers and zip-front boots (see below). Overall, I was really impressed with how well the theme carried through each look, and look forward to seeing what will come from these two in the future. 

Below, my favourite look from the show from COTTWEILER FT REEBOK.
