Atelier100 Drop02 Collection: Fashion Product Guide & Imagery

DROP02 TRENDS 

Repurpose and reuse is a common thread throughout the collection, including vintage silver rings translated into jewellery by multi-disciplinary maker Izzi Valentine, genderless trousers using deadstock denim by androgynous fashion studio LECLÒ and a bomber jacket made from vintage military parachute material by Gina Corrieri.

Many designers have also contemplated what London’s multi-faceted culture represents today through their pieces. Fashion designer Abiola Onabule examines how humble cotton can be brought to life in her work and represent the collective chaos of the city through the uniform tradition of a shirt. Andrew Eastmond is inspired by London's cycling culture, his simple jacket is designed for the city cyclist who wants to forego sporting apparel.

Much of the collection honours the flexibility of the body and its form. The collection includes adjustable knitted garments that grow or shrink with the wearer - a radical innovation created by experimental textile designer Alexandra Larrabure.

British craft and manufacture were at the forefront of the Drop02 designer brief and every piece is a celebration of both traditional and unexpected techniques available here in the UK. Traditional practices such as sewing, welding and casting marry up with metal spinning, 3D printing and powder coating, reinforcing the huge potential for more local production by retailers in the future. Furthermore, the drop02 products support an extensive variety of suppliers based in the UK and its capital, including waxed cotton from British Millerain and London Plane wood. Products have been fabricated in collaboration with a number of UK manufacturers, including Fabric Works, Dalston Mills and KBN Knitwear.
