AUTUMN SPOTLIGHT

CONTEMPORARY “EVERYDAY COUTURE”: THE “CONVINCING” COAT

 

 

 

 

The ability to create high quality, beautiful and useful clothes is rare in an industry often obsessed with the pursuit of novelty. Equally unusual is the way our creative team takes inspiration from historical garments and fabrics while simultaneously conducting research into the most up to date materials and manufacturing processes.

 

The result is completely contemporary clothing made with respect for traditional craftsmanship and aesthetics that has been intelligently re-imagined and re-purposed for modern life.

 

 

Construction is all-important; each garment is designed in a three-dimensional way; the back, the profile and the inside are as important as the front. This is fundamental to our concept of ‘Everyday Couture', a process in which garments are made with a finish and attention to detail usually associated with hand-made and couture pieces.

 

 

One item from Autumn Winter 2022 collection that beautifully illustrates this principle is the 'Convincing' coat, a garment whose silhouette is redolent of an earlier time in which femininity was represented by a particular outline.

 

It is a long, full, fitted style with a waistline emphasised by a wide self-fabric belt. The distinctive shape is created by folding the fabric into deep, soft pleats that are held in place and released at strategic points to create volume and drape.

 

 

 

 

The shoulders extend into wide batwing sleeves and end in straight cuffs. The finish is kept clean, and the full skirt has pockets hidden in the side seam.

 

 

 

 

Any retro-references in this piece are immediately modernised due to its fabric; a high performance, technical twill with a compact diagonal weave that is the perfect weight and structure to make and hold volume. It is ideal for HIGH’s ‘sculptural’ tailoring.

 

 

CONVINCING - a dramatically elegant overcoat that that will become a statement piece in your wardrobe for years to come.
