The autumn/winter 2014 Nicole Farhi collection draws upon protection and sanctuary for inspiration. It’s not the first time politics has inspired a line, as creative direction Joanna Sykes creates warm and comforting outwear in order to make men feel protected and safe in a period of recession. The clothes are snug and soft, and the coats really stood out as being key items. The tweed and plaid coats, plus the chunky knit sweaters combined the art of British tailoring while keeping the styles loose and bohemian at the same time. I also realized that all fabrics are organic, which is always a plus. In addition to the presentation here in London, we also got to see a lookbook photoshoot and touch and get a close up look at the fabrics and the designs. I think it’s easy to see why one might feel warm and protected in these lovely clothes!
