A lesser-known label that's based in Paris, Atelier Neutre recently unveiled a seasonal line for 2017. It reportedly described it as, "a synthesis between French tailoring and African aesthetics."
With this in mind, Atelier Neutre incorporates well-structured European classics into the Spring/Summer collection -- as well as vibrant patterns and a few cuts that are unconventional in comparison to it. All in all, the result is modern, eye-catching and easy to wear all at once.
Although many of the pieces are marked with bold color, Atelier Neutre is sure to mix in just the right amount of basics to ensure that the collection doesn't become too overwhelming for its consumers. For example, the label presents a long jacket with a design that's reminiscent of a watercolor painting with a pair of black trousers and a white tee.
