Color plays a huge part in defining the line. Orange and red accents, stripes and borders and other elements broaden wardrobe flexibility. An exciting addition to the women's line this season is an Open Collar Shirt featuring bold, thick stripes. A highlight of the men's range will be a multicolor Border T-shirt employing heavyweight cotton.

There's also some new technology to look forward to! This season's line will incorporate coats that offer exceptional water resistance, wind-proofing and breathability. The women's BLOCKTECH Short Coat is both comfortable and stylish as city wear, employing a drawstring waist and a matte finish. The new men's BLOCKTECH coat employs chambray twill fabric that is water repellent and wind-proof, combining a clean silhouette with excellent all-weather protection.

Items made with 3D U-Knit three-dimensional weaving technique proved incredibly popular, employing Wholegarment technology to enhance fit and comfort. The new range enhances the look and feel by adopting high twist cotton fabric in two new women's items: one is the 3D Ribbed Balloon Sweater, with distinctive cuff and waist styling, and the other is the 3D Crew Neck Balloon Dress, whose dainty fit and flare silhouette we love.
