Fashion label Woolrich works in conjunction with Griffin Studio on a capsule designed specifically for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The design inspiration that lies behind the capsule highlights the essence of Americana culture, fusing experimental fabrication and performance-focused design. The highlighting piece in the collaborative collection is the fishtail parka, which blends together three different outerwear structures influenced by the militaristic M51 parka.
It is constructed using ripstop fabric materials and blends in historical performance factors. Another notable item in the capsule is the versatile lightweight down jacket that features re-attachable sleeves and a water-resistant finish. The overall design aesthetics highlights neutral hues contrasted by bright hits of red and orange, signature to Woolrich's designs.
