Colmar’s "AGE" project, which stands for Advanced Garment Exploration, was first introduced last year with a capsule codesigned with Hood by Air designer Shayne Oliver. For this season, the storied Italian outerwear brand has partnered with Japanese designer Yosuke Aizawa, the founder of edgy brand White Mountaineering, who infuses his passion for the outdoors throughout all the collections.
White Mountaineering x Colmar AGE distills the expertise of both brands in the outerwear world, creating a process of “communicating vessels,” or a mix of urban streetwear and performance-oriented pieces that draw from Colmar’s archives. The result is a lineup of keep-you-warm padded and waterproof parkas and cropped jackets in technical fabrics, featuring personalized buttons and zips, plus silicon logos.
