Lou Dalton’s collection took its cues from early Nineties ravers. But Dalton distilled the idea via precise tailoring, saying in her show notes that she wanted the collection to be about the “essentials of a man’s wardrobe.” As a result, the lineup felt fresh and modern, rather than retro.
Windbreakers were crisp and sharply cut in a distorted Madras check in blue or orange, while nylon parkas in a Prince of Wales check were stitched with utilitarian bellows pockets.
Dalton paired those toppers with loose-fitting shorts and slim tailored pants, some of which also had cargo pockets. Jaunty pieces – such as translucent plastic macs, bucket hats and Madras-check rucksacks – added to the cool, carefree vibe.
