Exteberria created a warm and cosy AW16/17. The catwalk started off with gentlemen “sleeping” among the trees…perfect timing for the Spanish release of the Revenant into theatres…would this be a similar experience? The truth is, no. Once the waltz music started playing, I had visions of travelers resting in a Bavarian forest, waiting for dawn to come, comforted in their giant fur coats. Not warriors, but simply men–men in big, furry, wonderful coats. As the first two models waltzed down the catwalk, I knew this line was all about comfort and ease.

Resting Bavarian fur-covered waltzers.

The collection featured garments (well–outerwear) for both women and men, and most of the looks incorporated some sembalance of fur, in fact, loads of heavy, heavy fur, perfect for Nordic, Mongolian or Canadian winters. Leather was also used prominently in many of the designs as well as tweed. Colorblocking and even pattern blocking were also repeatedly used, and of course, right on trend with the New York, Milan and London runways for AW16/17, long, long coats with fur or shearling collars were out in full force.

Each model sported warm wool socks with leather and patched detailing to accompany the coats–not a single shoe or boat was present in the collection. The focus was definitely all on those fluffy, stylish coats. All eyes on the coats!

Any man that wants to be well-outfitted for a very chilly winter should derfinitely pìck up some Exteberria outerwear.
