Universal Works TAps Pyrenex on a Capsule for the FW20 Season

Nottingham-based fashion label Universal Works joins French brand Pyrenex on a collection that is made up of 10 intricate pieces for the colder seasons of the year. The duo channel their talents on a functional set of apparel that is ready for mountainous adventures.

This time around, the two brands have joined forces to create some modern menswear silhouettes and down outerwear that keep wearers warm throughout adventure. Many of the inspirations lie in contemporary styles while also honoring traditional looks as well. The specific influence stems from 70s skiwear and mid-century art. 6 pieces are down items and the four items that round out the rest of the capsule include chinos, moleskin, and and overshirt.
