The world seems to have found a new spark for living with the release and reopening of the communities around us- and Two Eight channels this spark into its winter collection- ‘Life is for Living’.
This year’s winter collection is inspired by the phrase- ‘Life is for Living’, which revolves around finding happiness in the simple pleasures of life- a hot cup of coffee or an outing surrounded by nature.
The core seasonal trends this winter include comfort, vintage and elevated casual staples, all of which have been brought into play in the collection encompassing tops, shirts, dresses, bottoms and the new and in “shacket”- the shirt-jacket for both menswear and womenswear. Joy, hope and the great outdoors signify the mood of the collection, whereas loose, comfortable and versatile represent the silhouettes and style. The fabrics are natural-based and include cotton and cotton blends, linen and corduroy, along with varied surface ornamentations like embroidery, cutwork, prints and woven motifs. The palette revolves around colours found in and inspired by nature, comprising shades of beige, blue, green, yellow and white. Staying true to the Two Eight characteristic, all garments are made from pre-consumer waste fabric sourced from local shops, making each creation unique and one of its kind.
