From Loewe to Celine, this season’s most striking trench coats, whether timeless silhouettes or outré interpretationsA perennial fixture in our wardrobes, thanks to its power to transition from one season to the next, the trench coat has been reimagined over the years in myriad guises, ranging from timeless staples to fully outré interpretations. For S/S 2022, designers delivered some exquisite new ideas.
Rokh’s Rok Hwang often revisits the trench with his deft eye and hand, and this season, he cropped, folded and cinched., Riccardo Tisci’s 20-odd trench interpretations on the catwalk included one with pink suit sleeves peeking out from below a leather cape. Meanwhile, over at Loewe, Jonathan Anderson, ever the soothsayer of our times, explored a space between protective armour and the surreal, inserting into his collection giant metallic discs that felt part decorative jewellery, part breastplate. §
