Growing season after season, the American Vintage men’s collection offers a complete wardrobe for autumn/winter 2019-2020. Between classic pieces and sporty influences, it imposes its style, always with the perfect twist.
London, 8:12 a.m.
He enters, orders a coffee, leans against the counter and immerses himself in the surrounding noise. He distractedly listens to the daily news on the radio.
Paris, 6:37 p.m.
A date on the rue de Rivoli. Shadows stretch out. He strides along the pavement, concentrated, his hands in his pockets. Recognises his girlfriend. Hurries to meet her. Smiles.
Dinard, midnight.
Dinner’s over. His friends are laughing, kissing, singing and dancing with him. Everyone is exhilarated by the sea air. He shivers. Casually pulls on a jumper.
The American Vintage man feels at home everywhere. In the city, in the countryside, in his friends’ homes. Influenced by the diversity of the world around him, he mixes modern pieces and classics, wrapping himself in the iconic reassuring and precious materials of the brand: wool, Italian yarn, alpaca, French velvet and cotton. The bottom of a flannel shirt with an old-school print peeks out from beneath his oversized campus-inspired sweatshirt. Raw denim structures his look. Worn with the simplicity of an accessory, an ultra-supple wool coat thrown over his shoulders perfects his silhouette and envelops him in generous comfort.
Essential, timeless and universal. This is the driving theme of the American Vintage men’s wardrobe. Built from the start around basics with well-designed details, the silhouette is broken down into eclectic and must-have pieces. From the faded cosy sweatshirt with its vintage style, worn on its own or paired with matching trousers, to the XL polar fleece jumper, by way of a flowing canvas or denim suit.
Alternating finesse and simplicity, the men’s look remains subtle while revealing a bold personality that shows in the meticulous crafting of the materials and details. Et voilà.
