JordanLuca Fall/Winter 2018 Blends Italian Tailoring with British Hoodlums
Suit meets street.
Young British brand JordanLuca debuted its Fall/Winter 2018 collection on the final day of London Fashion Week: Men’s, showcasing a collection melding tailored outerwear and suiting with hoodies, jeans, and graphic T-shirts.
With experience at brands including Jil Sander, Vivienne Westwood and Erdem, designers Jordan Bowen and Luca Marchetto aim to blend sartorial worlds, combining Italian quality with a British streetwise mindset. Dubbed “Angry Staffy,” Fall/Winter 2018 mends graphic T-shirts and printed layering pieces with reworked overcoats and suits, subverting casual items with conservative patterns and vice versa. For instance, a straightforward bomber and jeans outfit is undercut with a retro “LONDON” graphic T-shirt and tangled muffler worn around the neck, while a slim plaid suit features synchronized striping and is styled over a track jacket with a matching pattern.
