MWorks
The collection was conceived as a poetic hybrid of our movements and contemporary clothing. The outerwear pieces play on proportions with a hooded poncho split by a zip and a coat with wide sleeves, structured by slits. A ‘midnight blue’ satin workshop suit, tightened at the waist. A whimsical tailoring suit consists of collarless jacket and trousers with a skirt wrapped around it. The volumes of the hooded shirt have been redesigned into an ultra large version, in camel striped poplin. A colour that echoes the vegan leather of the winter shorts with buttoned slits and an overshirt with multiple pockets. The gabardine trousers are modular. The green is punctuated by white and black inserts on uniform clothing. The six-colour logo is hand-painted by artist Aurélien Delahaies, with whom MWORKS has already collaborated, on natural jersey pieces.
As part of its “COWORKING” programme, MWORKS partners each season with an independent workshop to promote know-how and create collaborative clothing projects. This season, the brand is working with Les Trois Tricoteurs: a social and solidarity-based start-up located in Roubaix, founded by textile engineers from ENSAIT. Specialists in knitwear, they use technological innovations discovered in Japan that allow the creation of completely seamless knitted pieces. The result of the project is a loose knitted jumper textured with whimsical stripes made with Italian merino wool yarn in electric blue and black anchor versions.
Artistic collaboration with the talented illustrator Jeanne Detallante This season’s print was created by Jeanne Detallante, a French artist and illustrator based in Brussels, who has worked with Prada, Miu Miu and numerous publishing projects. Jeanne created a pattern that blends brutalism and art nouveau, inspired by malachite stone, emerald and marble.
