Tim Labenda Fall/Winter 2013 Lookbook
by Adriano Batista
Menswear designer Tim Labenda’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection, “Nachtwandler” (sleepwalker), is inspired by the contrast between the frenetic energy of urban living and the search for solitude, stillness and tranquillity in the context of the metropolitan jungle.
The variety of fabrics and prints used in this collection expresses the conflicting longings of modern man – to be both comforted and empowered. Knitwear, mohair and shearling linings soothe the restless soul within, while shiny rubber pieces and sharply-cut cottons or wool blends suggest a confident and outgoing man who is at ease in the city.
Shapes move seamlessly from casual comfort into sleek and smooth. In the collection that celebrates New York: ‘the city that never sleeps’, night wear elements drift into day wear, casual wear dresses up for the office, and a tailored jacket conceals a soft textured lining – all are one, combining textures chosen for comfort and relaxation with those for masculine sleekness and sophistication.
Design details, from the contrasting blue and orange colour palette through to the innovative use of abstract print, worked on with Florian Häsler, all take their cue from the old-meetsnew character of New York and its unique cultural overlay of faded grandeur with austere minimalism. Surprise materials, such as a distinctive rubber yarn, somehow fuse the old with
the new: traditional knitwear techniques using a modern material.
Inspired by this season’s emerging fascination with print, Tim Labenda allows the abstract impressions of the city to make their mark graphically. The windows, lights and pace of the modern city flash yellow and orange onto dark shirts and suits, while bleach/dye techniques on denim are inspired by reflections in the city’s glass.
