Christopher Raeburn 2016 Spring/Summer Collection
The English designer draws inspiration from the “barefoot anthropologist” and his excursion through Southeast Asia.
Returning with his recycled military surplus garments, English designer Christopher Raeburn unveiled his 2016 spring/summer collection at London Collections: Mens this past weekend. For this extensive offering, the 32-year-old clothier drew inspiration from the “barefoot anthropologist” known as Tom Harrison, and his “native” excursion in the Borneo island in Southeast Asia. Camouflage, all-over topography prints, map-adorning tops and swinging apes, are obvious nods to Harrison’s travels through Asia, while Raeburn maintains his hallmark juxtaposition of traditional English styling with wide-legged, pleated trousers and knee-length trench coats. Additional details include cork paneling, woven bombers made to look like leaf baskets, Swiss denim parkas, sarongs and much more.
