The state and style of functional Alpine-wear are evolving in the contemporary age with many designers pushing the envelope with reimagined silhouettes and hyper-technical materials. One such brand is Luke Meier’s OAMC which recently deputed a functional Alpine-wear capsule that is absolutely unique and eye-catching in its aesthetic.
OAMC creatively fuses two sources of inspiration in its head-turning Spring/Summer 2023 release—the power and unpredictability of nature with the precision of geometry. Luke Meier embraced a phrase by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler who said that "geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world." And indeed, the Spring/Summer 2023 functional Alpine-wear effortlessly balances its two inspirations, resulting in sophisticated silhouettes that can be utilized in both urban and outdoor environments. The pastel color palette also adds to the style.
