Opposites attract in Tatras new collection
The Japanese brand proposed a perfect mix of elegance and functionality for their FW24 collection
November 1st, 2024
As winter approaches, outerwear becomes the main and essential piece to give character to an outfit without sacrificing the necessary comfort and warmth. Tatras, the Japanese brand with Italian roots, found inspiration in military heritage and hiking style for its FW24 collection, marked by a change in artistic direction that revolutionizes the traditional concept of essential winter garments. This ambitious renewal aims to set new stylistic standards, merging aesthetics and functionality in a completely innovative way. The collection then evolves with a sophisticated urban approach, enriching Tatras' stylistic heritage with contemporary and innovative details. Designed for a community of connoisseurs who face the challenges of city life with ease and confidence, this collection crosses the boundaries between style and practicality, offering pieces that stand out for their balance between design and functionality. Part of the line explores the world of modern streetwear, combined with Japanese technological precision; on the other hand, the Pearl capsule pays homage to the refinement of pearls, an eternal symbol of femininity and beauty. The FW24 collection thus combines technological advancement, functionality, and a recognizable aesthetic, offering new silhouettes that play with proportions and volumes, ranging from oversized cuts to tight and cropped shapes, all characterized by fluid and elongated lines.
Experimentation with down jacket techniques finds unique expressions in the collection: oversized suits with generous volumes are paired with wide and quilted pants, long or cropped jackets, and sleeveless padded vests. Each piece conveys a functional sophistication that does not compromise on distinctive aesthetics. The collection is enriched with soft fleece jackets, sturdy bombers, teddy jackets with a contemporary cut, and structured windbreakers designed to meet the diverse needs of the winter wardrobe. In terms of color, the collection pays homage to the brand's military roots with a palette of dark tones, alongside earthy colors like khaki, beige, and brown. The interplay between matte and shiny surfaces, rigid fabrics, and soft, shiny materials adds an additional dimension to each piece, offering a visually and tactilely impactful effect. From shiny nylon with a glossy finish to matte cotton nylon, each fabric is carefully chosen to enhance quality and aesthetic appearance, contributing to a collection with a well-defined and uncompromising style. The Pearl capsule, on the other hand, offers eleven down jackets made of various materials, ranging from recycled nylon to tweed and wool with a tricot effect. The silhouettes vary, including cropped models, vests with faux fur-trimmed hoods, and color-block proposals that reflect the brand's Japanese heritage, reinterpreting the essential and rigorous design typical of Japanese culture.
