HANSEN GARMENTS AW24
PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE
Workwear in its many forms has always been central to HANSEN - from farm hands and railway workers to fishermen and even bookeepers, the way we dress as we do our everyday business brings together functionality, durability, comfort and, in many cases, a truly authentic style. For AW24, HANSEN explores the many facets of utility clothing but twists it into something contemporary by reworking the silhouette and using modern interpretations of traditional fabrics.
Shapes are loose and easy to wear with long lengths mixed with shorter and wider to create unexpected proportions. In a push to stay true to season (October is more summer than winter these days), traditional fabrics - flannel, corduroy, tweed - are made lighter and softer by using cotton instead of wool. The palette mixes urban greys, washed blacks and chalk whites with more natural tones of olive, raisin and sage whilst highlights include a rich magenta and a floral jacquard in forest tones.
Tailoring - the mainstay of urban office workers - is, in true HANSEN style, deconstructed and relaxed. Elephant corduroy has a vintage look whilst cotton suiting modernises bankers’ pinstripes into something totally contemporary. Elsewhere
a checked tweed blazer is reworked in cotton for a striking yet easy piece to layer, unexpectedly, over a long-line shirt or waffle knit Henley. Trousers play with proportions by being either very baggy, highwaisted or even padded. Outerwear has uniform details - most apparent in a cropped jacket with epaulettes but also in a waxed cotton gamekeeper’s jacket that is cut wide and has an oversized pocket on the back. Padded nylon parkas are more minimal, allowing the silhouette to take centre stage. Finally, a group of knitted sweaters and cardigans look rugged but have a cosy soft handle that makes then totally modern - after all, workwear doesn’t need to be hard work...
Enjoy!
ENJOY.
