Fashion imprint DAIWA PIER39 introduces its latest collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2022 season that is full of relaxed shapes and technical cuts, staying true to the brand's design language. The seasonal inspiration stems from the idea of a retreat aesthetic that delivers versatile shapes and invites layering purposes.
Some of the notable items in the collection include the pullover lightweight puffer vests with opened details on the sides. This allows it to be thrown on for an A-line shape of opened all the way to be worn like a poncho. Much of the collection uses GORE-TEX materials for a durable feel, seen making up silhouettes such as the anorak jackets, parkas, and windbreakers as well.
