Designers Derek Buse and Joe Sadler of CWST might be nomads, but they’re nomads on the beach.
Inspired by the San Juan islands in the Pacific Northwest, the fall lineup fused a carefree beach vibe with rock-‘n’-roll culture — and a touch of grunge.
“It was our first venture outside of California,” said Buse. “We instantly fell in love with the relaxed spirit and counter culture,” added Sadler.
The lineup offered multilayered pieces, double-washed wool linens and fabrics imported from Japan and Italy. Highlights include an army overcoat in an Italian wool blend, a Japanese technical puffer and a tribal totem print scarf and jacket.
