For its latest effort toward meaningful and refined fashion collaborations, London-based retailer Matchesfashion.com partners up with luxe designer Maison Margiela for a line-up of luxury sportswear for men. The collection is characterized by a minimalist aesthetic, often stylishly broken up by bold color hits and subdued checkered patterns. The contemporary offerings loosely tie into Maison Margiela's Fall/Winter 2018 capsule.
The collaborators utilized exceptionally high-quality materials in the construction of the elevated silhouettes, including virgin wool, soft fleece and velvet. The Maison Margiela x Matchesfashion.com luxury sportswear collection boasts pieces that tie into both a formal and a sporty aesthetic — from the incredibly elegant Crombie tailored coat to the ultra-sporty and vibrant nylon bomber jacket.
