Filippa K

Spring 2020 brings a balance of minimalist elegance and functionality with a modern take on tailoring. Beginning with precise technicality, tailored pieces are imbued with an added layer of understated softness that lends itself to the real experiences of everyday life. This functional element connects to the signature style and long-lasting quality of Filippa K. New and familiar fabrics make up this collection. Technical qualities such as nylon add a modern feel, and our favourite triacetate returns to provide easy wear and care. Knitted structures, linen, and cotton mixes add tactile texture. Suiting defines many key pieces. The Norine Blazer and Barnes Coat have constructed shoulders with a fitted waist, both developed in a light tailored wool. Norine can be styled with the matching Julie Trouser and a t-shirt for a comfortable contemporary look.Balancing out the intricacy of tailoring, a selection of satin pieces embody understated elegance and add subtleshine in sophisticated colours of Black, Ivory, and Ice Blue. The Joy Trouser and Portland Coat are influenced by the functionality of the collection. Joy is made in a heavycotton twill with cargo- inspired details, such as two-needle top stitching and patch pockets. Portland is parka- inspired, constructed from a soft technical canvas.The colours echo the union of usefulness and minimalism. Beginning with a subtle Coconut White, a range of hues within the beige and grey families are introduced. A few, such as Mint Powder and Ice Blue, lean more towards brighter tones while pops of colour appear with bold Green Yellow and Red Orange.
