Once again, Karl Lagerfeld and Hogan have joined forces for a new FW 2011/12 collection The collaborative project focuses on apparel and accessories, leather and high-tech materials for a second season.The collection take the chill off next winter with its range of ultra-light down coats and windbreakers, zip-through jackets and sleeveless bodywarmers, bomber and jackets. The padding of the bomber jackets and the short and long versions of the down coats is embellished with snappy and asymmetrical geometric quilting. The irregular diagonals are often enhanced by silver zips. Gently-fitted or pulled in at the waist by a drawstring, they are cocoons of nylon injected with ink that produces an unexpected embossed effect, hiding a multitude of pockets, plus a maxi zip-through detachable collar and XL mittens. The short coat, on the other hand, falls in a straight line to the hips, referencing street art: silver brushstrokes against a background of black leather with the same graffiti effect featuring on the sleeves. The slightly A-line, quilted bodywarmer is worn on top of the short coat, combining volume and graphic pattern.
The sneaker can either be ankle or calf height and focuses on the essential combination of black and white – intimately linked to the style of Karl Lagerfeld. High-heeled Oxfords with rubber soles have a modern allure that is also the mark of the shopping bag in leather with painted stripes in silver, with a flap closure signed by Hogan by Karl Lagerfeld and contrast leather bellows and bottom.
