Japanese and British Subcultures Collide in Sage Nation's FW23 Collection
Merging functional workwear and Japanese techniques to create a staple winter wardrobe.
Emerging London-based label Sage Nation has just presented its latest menswear offering that continues its journey into creating a staple wardrobe for all.
The brand is grounded in timelessness, consistently encapsulating every collection in “Balance, Perspective, and Purpose.” The label pushes practicality to the forefront and keeps its design language simple, allowing impeccable craftsmanship and tailoring to speak for itself.
The brand’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection continues to find beauty in perfection, merging British and Japanese motifs by referencing functional British workwear with upgraded Japanese techniques.
Quilted snow gear receives interior padding and cinchable toggles inspired by Sage’s hometown of Bekkai in Hokkaido, Japan. The previous is primed for brisk winter temperatures, while reimagined Harrington jackets don wool constructions and pay tribute to vintage grandfather attire on both sides of the Atlantic. Structured variations are matched with corresponding bottoms that sport exposed calf covers and stand alongside hefty knitwear produced in collaboration with emblematic British mills.
Sage Nation’s standard Fossil tracksuit returns this season adorned with ruffled detailing resembling ancient traces found underground. Oversized coats, nylon shirting, and cozy long sleeves complete the range alongside modern cargos and fuzzy headgear.
The collection’s color palette is limited to five hues taken from Japan’s Power of Five concept, featuring muted tones of yellow, navy, grey, khaki, and beige.
