Some garments in Sillage's Spring/Summer 2023 range draw inspirational cues from Nepalese culture. More specifically, the Gurkha Pants and Shorts borrow design sensibilities from the country's elite soldier attire. The straight-legged bottoms boast "a unique cummerbund-style waistband" that can fold downwards. The silhouette can accommodate varying weather conditions, making it extremely versatile. The Gurkha Pants and Shorts can be combined as "a versatile Henley Popover."
Aside from the influence of Nepalese culture, the Spring/Summer 2023 debut by Sillage emphasizes oversized and comfy garments, as well as other cultural inspirations. All models are available in one size. The brand evoked expert craftsmanship and exceptional materials in this newly released capsule. The pieces were made in Japan. The textiles, on the other hand, included Harris Tweed and Sashiko fabrics which are ideal for winter.
