alk phenix, the Japan-only stylish sub-label of outdoors company phenix, often places adventurous technology at the forefront of its collections, like it did with Kevlar in Spring/Summer 2020. Fall/Winter 2020 sees the imprint experimenting with Polartec and some new in-house developments, continuing to push the boundaries of function-focused casualwear.

“Super Light Weight Nylon” and “Shaggy Polartec” lends a host of seasonal staples extra weather resistance and warmth, respectively, with the latter realized across muted grey pullovers, pants and a hat. The former appears alongside “Breathatec” shells and stretchy “technista” knit, which informs louche tailoring and pants elevated by three-dimensional pockets. Various layering pieces are emboldened with expansive internal storage, balanced visually by layered pockets and mesh compartments and complemented by sculpted bags and reflective accessories.

Take a closer look at FW20’s high-tech craftsmanship on alk phenix’s website, where you can shop the new items.
