When fashion designer HIEN LE presented his Autumn/Winter collection 2017 at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, we had a very urgent realization: We must necessarily get back out our skateboards from the basement!
With his new collection, Hien Le takes us back to the beginning of skateboarding and recalls the sportswear of the Forties and Fifties. At that time skater boys were wearing Chino Pants and shirts. Skater girls, however, were seen in flowing midi skirts.
He re-applied these looks in form of chino pants, light sweaters, shirts, edgy jackets and T-shirt dresses and made his collection look casual but fashionable at the same time. The collection unmistakably bears the handwriting of the designer but one thing is new: for the first time in his now seven years lasting career, Hien Le used denim.
From this absolute trend material, he designed some jackets with a small fur collar, shirts and a sweatshirt for men and a roll-neck sweater, a skirt, a blouse and wide baggy-like trousers for women.

Except from denim, the collection pieces are made of wool fabrics, cotton and silk and pick up on classic tailoring and details like needle stripes, stripe patterns and faux leather. Remarkable is the colour palette of beige, grey and night blue with sparks of fir green and dark salmon. All colours fit perfectly together and give the collection a coherent overall impression.
So for those who can not skate, don't worry: Hien Le's looks are just perfect to be stylish outside on the streets. So keep on rolling!
