It’s clear that Chelsea Hansford and Daniel Corrigan, the team behind Simon Miller, are hyperfocused on their fabrics. Aside from the spring collection’s earthy palette of olive, mustard and rust, which was derived from an olive plantation in Spain, the designers’ talking points centered around textiles — the kind that have been labored over but don’t feel or look like they have.
They’ve created T-shirts made from a mix of cotton and cashmere, textured linen shirts, a suede bomber jacket and sun-dyed canvas utility jackets and pants.
In terms of denim — the foundation of the brand — Corrigan and Hansford are growing their made in Japan collection and focusing on light washes.

Hansford said their women’s line continues to grow — it now makes up 65 percent of the business — but this collection showed their dedication to presenting interesting but viable ideas for men’s wear.
