Review of KASSL Editions ‘Capsule Collection’ Fall 2022 Creative Director Gijsje Ribbens with Photographer Senta Simond with model Alice Stordiau
KASSL Editions launches debut ready-to-wear capsule exclusively via their e-commerce and Net-a-Porter.
Outerwear brand KASSL Editions makes an assured foray into Ready To Wear with its 7-piece Capsule Collection for Fall 2022.
Crafted from the same adventurous selection of materials – including double-faced wool, rubber and taffeta – seen in the KASSL Editions coats for Fall 2022, the collection of jumpsuits, pants and vest tops carries core design elements of KASSL’s seasonal outerwear into easy Ready To Wear pieces that are at once relaxed and sophisticated.
Inspired by the ideal of ultimate uniform dressing – with tops and bottoms cut from identical fabrics – the collection creates a modern, oversized silhouette that takes the wearer confidently between the dual realms of urban life and outdoor exploration, and combines perfectly with all KASSL Editions outerwear. The attitude of sumptuous minimalism is typified in the subtly high-contrast combination of a dark grey boiled wool V-neck sweater and black high-shine Oil Light flared trousers – at once stiff and molten, matte and lustrous.
Elsewhere, a Dark Forest green minidress with diagonal pockets at the front and press studs at the back brings the earthy drama of the countryside to an urban staple. In line with the capsule collection’s adaptability, it can also be worn as a shirt. Superlative in their ease and comfort, the oversized jumpsuits in double-faced wool and taffeta reference and transform established aspects of utility wear through their lavish materiality – for example in the deceptively simplicity of the enlarged yet concealed zip panel.
