The GmbH Fall/Winter 2021 collection was recently unveiled and it was designed entirely during the lock-down ordered to reduce the spread of COVID-19. As large gatherings are restricted and discouraged, the fashion label uses this as inspiration. Parties feel like a distant memory for many people and the seasonal capsule brings back those times through clothing designs.
The capsule is named 'Welt am Draht,' which translates to "World on a Wire" in German. The pieces include classic silhouettes including the distorted tailored shapes, the tight fitted knitwear, trim trousers with zippers, and more. A notable update are the X-shaped wraps seen in the suiting wool and the faux fur for an added texture to the collection. Additionally, the range also introduces the brand's own in-house vegan footwear line.
