Rachel James is a high-end Menswear label with a strong brand identity; creative yet controlled, slick yet crazy. Everything in her collection is designed and manufactured in Great Britain. Her new collection SS16 is entitled Slick Lunatic.

The inspiration for this ready-to-wear collection is taken from the moon, French straight jackets,and French workwear and aboriginal art. The colour palette is subtler this SS16, with mainly white, black, grey and brown garments along with mint green highlighting to add a pop to the pieces. Across the SS16 garments hidden rabbits can be found–small white buttons and illustrations on knitwear, adding small surprises throughout the collection. Silhouettes from her previous collection carry on into SS16, but with a twist of patterns and fabrics. The recognisable chunky knits can be still seen, with different textures, and cuts added to modernise the knitwear for the new season.
