Simon Miller Menswear Spring 2016

How to keep a denim brand feeling fresh? For Simon Miller designers Jake Sargent and Daniel Corrigan, it all comes down to the process. Like traditional Japanese boro garments, it's not just about the textile itself, but the textile transformed. Boro pieces are patched and mended till they've become testimonies to the life of the wearer; what Simon Miller clothes may lack in actual life experience, Sargent and Corrigan nod to through the use of novel treatments. Among Spring's expanded ready-to-wear lineup: buttery tin cloth, pigment-painted cotton, and resin-coated linen—all textural delights in rich earth tones. Outerwear was a clear focus, and the pair whipped up bombers, anoraks, and robe coats.
