D’URBAN Spring/Summer 2015 Collection

D’URBAN Spring/Summer 2015 Collection

 

For spring/summer 2015, D’URBAN continues to emphasize modern city life, with a collection that unites functionality with comfort and style. Taking inspiration from the changing facets of nature, D’URBAN explores urban jungles and sunset deserts. Jungle City Cities are where the natural and the manmade come together in subtle ways – office ferns, tree-lined streets, landscaped parks and so on. Such meeting points are the influence behind the prints, patterns and colors of D’URBAN’s spring/summer collection with its tonal botanical prints and jacquards, subtle animal patterns, natural fabrics, and a monotone palate of grays accented by red, beige and green.   The concept is perfectly illustrated by three standout pieces worn together: a black leather jacket, a printed shirt and white trousers. The jacket, made from ultra-soft napa leather that is both subtly sophisticated and fashion-forward. Worn with an abstract-botanical print shirt in tones of gray and white cotton trousers that taper slightly at the ankle, the result is comfortable, cutting-edge chic for the urban man. D’URBAN further explores modern lifestyle with a series of innovative blousons. The first, in tones of gray, features a unique mix of fabrics and a new design detail: a jacket collar, which brings a contemporary twist to a casual wardrobe staple. Second: a brilliant new zip-front blouson in black jacquard that has a detachable hood and other adjustable details, which create a perfect outdoor collocation throughout the season. Third: an exciting new reversible blouson made from a single layer of two-sided fabric. Solid on one side and subtly printed on the other, this must-have piece is lightweight and sleek. Matching the innovation seen in its outerwear, D’URBAN also reinvents cargo pants. No longer bulky and unflattering, this season’s six-pocket pants feature interior pockets and slimmer silhouettes, creating a new summertime staple. Sunset Desert Away from the city, D’URBAN also takes inspiration from the expansion of the deserts during a time of climate change. For summer, the colors shift to sand, sun and sky, while the prints have an Arabian influence and the lightweight fabrics are designed for summer’s heat. Echoing the desert’s colors, the season’s most coveted casual jacket is in sandy beige with tan detailing. Its double-layer placket can be zipped or buttoned closed, with the amber-colored buttons picking up the desert color scheme. The jacket’s extra “gadget” pocket is one of the season’s hallmarks and demonstrates D’URBAN’s continuing commitment to functionality. Worn with this season’s jacquard polo shirt, dark denim jeans and a multi-print scarf, this is the perfect jacket for updating and upgrading summer casual wear. For High Summer “Monsoon” For summer, D’URBAN is also expanding its very popular High Summer range, which was specifically developed for executives in Southeast Asia whose wardrobes must cope with high heat and humidity. Monsoon is a thoughtful invention and an exclusive development by D’URBAN in 1997 specially for the Asian Market. Already available in DB (D’URBAN Basic) and DA (D’URBAN Advanced), the collection now also includes the new DG (D’URBAN Glamorous) cut, which gives a slim look and emphasizes masculine shoulder lines. The High Summer range is always made with minimum construction using natural fabrics. This season’s suit fabrics give a nod to classic menswear and include tonal stripes, windowpane checks and vintage plaids. The collection not only captures the retro mood of modern menswear, it also lets you look and feel cool as summer heats up.
