Hailing from the creative hub for fashion, art and culture that is East London, Dent de Man demonstrates a unique approach to style with a mixture of classic and modern handcrafted designs. The fabrics used are of Vintage origin ranging from the 1930’s to 1970’s. Individually sourced by the designer, they are each given a name associated with a specific life event. An extensive and unique archive of prints soon developed being utilized to address the designer’s memories.

The motifs used are adapted to exemplify the designer’s admiration of vintage style, along with a profound love of beauty and culture. The brand’s dedication to traditional textiles is infinite. Batik fabrics are adorned with Javanese patterns created by using a specialist wax block printing technique. This is what ultimately defines the brands DNA, an endless admiration for ancient printing methods and a commitment to adapt them into our contemporary world.

This Spring/Summer 14, Dent de Man embraces transition by demonstrating a collection more focused on ready-to-wear, introducing casual basics whilst incorporating key wardrobe essentials such as the ‘Paradis Vert’ bomber jacket.

The broader range of clothing allows a chance to mix and match, creating complete outfits along the way enabling the wearer to remain expressive through his choices yet effortless in his approach. The season will see the brand re-work boxy silhouettes demonstrating intricate prints along with graphic block patterns.

Moreover, the colour palette for the season is suggestive of earthy, bohemian hues. We introduced vibrant summer colours, floral prints of blood orange, high-octane shades of green and also darker tones such as navy, chocolate and burgundy.
