Lately I have been really into fashion designer daiki Suzuki. He has two lines of clothing one is engineered garments and the other is woolrich woolen mills. Engineered garments focused on a workwear and military inspired clothing. Woolrich woolen mills is daiki’s interpretation of vintage outdoor clothing. The fabrics in engineered garments are focused on texture and heavy duty materials, while the fabrics in woolrich woolen mills have a more rugged wool texture. Every season the theme changes. Currently for spring/summer 2010, engineered garments theme seems to be workwear with hints of 70’s rock or 50’s dapper style. There are some floral print patterns in addition to classic staples that appear every season. Woolrich woolen mills theme this season based on Californian surf culture. There are a lot of relaxed lounge type clothes. It’s not actually surf clothing, but something that ‘70s surfers might wear at night after surfing. The patterns for woolrich woolen mills this season are very beach looking using Hawaiian looking prints and summer plaids. There is also a lot of color block usage. The shorts and jackets have color block patterns. I think that beige and navy are the key colors for woolrich woolen mills. For engineered garments, the look seems to be more versatile than woolrich woolen mills. Engineered garments uses a variety of colors this season. Many shades of blues, earth tones, and various pattern prints are used for all the clothing. In my opinion, spring/summer seasons aren’t always the strongest when it comes to outwear. I like to wait until the autumn/winter seasons to look at outerwear.
