THE BEST SHOW OF DAY 3!!!!
AUTUMN WINTER 2013
On Wednesday 9th January, in the setting of Café de Paris, Peter Werth and Nutters of Savile Row unveiled their AW13 collaborative collection at London Collections: Men. On the catwalk models were joined by Northern Soul dancers to create a vibrant atmosphere, reflecting the inspiration for the range. The show was attended by press, buyers and celebrities including, David Gandy and Reggie Yates.
This exclusive collection was initiated by the wardrobe design and production work undertaken independently by Nutters and Peter Werth for the upcoming feature film, “Northern Soul”. Set in 1975, (Nutters heyday and the year Peter Werth was established). The film was the inspiration for both brands to work together on the collection, reflecting the heritage of both of brands whilst embracing the spirit and attitude of life after dark in the 1970’s. It is “Studio 54 meets Wigan Casino”.
The collaborative collection of contemporary tailored sportswear is designed to be sharp enough to enter Mayfair’s private nightspots and sufficiently relaxed for the dance floors of the hottest soul clubs, with a spirit and attitude reflecting the heady heights of life after dark in the 1970’s. Delivered with Nutter’s signature oversized lapels, roped shoulders and wide-leg trousers the collection features unstructured tailored sportswear in jersey knit fabrics for blazers and shirts. The knitwear pays homage to Savile Row by incorporating overscaled Prince of Wales, houndstooth and windowpane check designs. Outerwear and accessories complete a look that seamlessly blends the old and new, in a contemporary, modern and relevant way.
The collaboration pays homage to the founders of two truly British and true London brands – just the way Tommy and Peter would have liked it.
