FILIPPA K MAN LAUNCHES HIGH-TECH OUTERWEAR

Filippa K Man launches a capsule collection of high-performance sportswear inspired outerwear together with Italian high-end brand Monobi, launching August 2016.

Monobi by Filippa K is a unique collaborative capsule collection that combines Scandinavian minimalist design, sophisticated Italian Craftsmanship and performance driven functionality sprung from modern sportswear. The partnership has resulted in a limited edition collection consisting of five exclusive and diverse outerwear garments that are multi-faceted in both design, wearability and advanced function.

The pieces from the first collaboration for Autumn Winter 2016 includes a silver foil anorak, a three-layer jacket, a polyurethane padded blazer, a bonded pimaloft trench coat and a crew neck hybrid sweater that doubles as outerwear. The constructions are detailed and layered for ultimate functional approach. The design and structural aesthetic is in focus, but with no compromise of the high-tech materials and functionality for all weather conditions. In line with Filippa K´s strong circular fashion approach, the pieces are versatile with a classic design with the goal to create longlasting pieces.

– We where intrigued by the idea of developing exclusive high-tech materials and merge them with our aesthetic sense. We wanted the pieces to be unique and durable with an architectonic and structural design. “This colaboration really has turned out better than we could ever have hoped for” Alexander Schaper, Design Director Man, Filippa K.
