C2H4® Blends Categories with Its New 'Winter Voyage' Collection

— August 17, 2022 — Luxury
Los Angeles-based fashion label C2H4® has unveiled its new 'Winter Voyage' collection, which consists of a wide range of ski resort-inspired pieces that are as suited for the slopes as they are for the club.

The new collection sees C2H4® founder and designer Yixi Chen continue his penchant for boundary-pushing styles that incorporate traditional -- usually utility-focused -- items and accessories. The new capsule includes several outwear pieces, such as ski jackets, winter coats, and cargo-style pants, as well as tailored looks and various knitwear items. A throughline for the collection is the use of pleating, patchwork, and dyeing, all of which serve to lend these winter-ready pieces a distinctly fashion-forward aesthetic.

Select items from the “Winter Voyage” collection are currently available to purchase on C2H4® 's website. The brand has stated the remainder collection will be released throughout the duration of the winter season.
