Belgian fashion label Arte Antwerp introduces its latest collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. It is inspired by the imperfection that comes from human creations, especially that in the modern world. Many design processes are now automated in this day and age.
The influence stems from a variety of traditional craftwork including quilting, crochet techniques, as well as patchwork details as well. Speaking about the range in his own words, the capsule "is an exploration of imperfection as real life isn’t perfect, it’s much more interesting than that." The new collection is made with an earthy tonal palette to really highlight the textures of the silhouettes. Some notable items include the turtleneck puffers, leather jackets, waxed blouson jackets, and more.
