Capsule collection for men

03 Jun 2020

To lock up a creative soul can have surprising results. The idea to design a men's collection, was something she had been thinking about for a long time, but she never found time to do so. That time was found during the Covid-19 lockdown. Encouraged by her son Lion who asked why he couldn't have a shirt in one of those fun prints, the idea quickly became real.

In other seasons leftover fabrics are used for extra productions, but these productions were unrealistic since sales had dropped due to the closure of all shops. The workshop that Nathalie has been working with for years, had lost a lot of orders too due to the Corona crisis.

The opportunity to sustainably launch a men's collection in just a few weeks time gave Nathalie extra motivation: no fabrics would be lost and it would create extra work in her own country, what would make it possible for the workshop to overcome these difficult times too.

The capsule collection contains one shirt and one pair of trousers in different fabrics and prints that can be easily combined. The combination possibilities are a key feature of the women's collection too, distinctive for Nathalie Vleeschouwer's way of designing. It is now possible to go matchy-matchy as husband and wife or mother and son this summer!
