Synopsis: Autumn Winter delves into iconic masculinity for inspiration with a distinct retro nostalgic feel. Continuing with interest in popular culture from the last 100 years, this season is focused on the late 1970’s British Menswear and cinema. Focusing on the iconic Cadbury Milk-Tray man and his sartorial style and mystery provides a sense of playful indulgence, romance and adventure to the collection. Utilising these landscapes of land, sea and the sky offers design references to ensure form and function are considered throughout. Aquatic adventures provide the foundation for the colour palette with deep blues, rich slate greys, powder snow ash tones and the ‘Cadbury’ purple feature throughout. Tonal shades create a multi-layered interchangeable collection allowing flexibility to each piece for the wearer. This short- film provides a commentary of annotation- injecting movement and personality to the fictional character images surrounding the Autumn/Winter 2012-13 collection of ‘Milk-Tray-Man’.
