The latest Digawel Fall/Winter 2019 collection features a series of co-ed fashion options that are perfect for layering. The main design influence is drawn from Western cultures, informed through careful details such as the shearling vests with zippers, washed out denim tops with white paint splatters, leather belts with large silver hardware, and d-rings.
Additional pieces in the range include collar coats, plaid outerwear, overalls, and tunic shirts. There are also some large cuts that are a direct nod to the label's approach of re-imagining the overarching theme. The long aforementioned tunic shirts take a new angle of oversized blazers and striped sweaters. The color palette is predominantly neutral, with hits of brown, light yellow, gray, and black.
