Coach today announced that the brand’s Creative Director, Stuart Vevers presented his Fall 2020 men’s and women’s collection for the brand at the 47th Street Warehouse in New York City this afternoon.
Downtown, a light-filled loft. The off-beat charm of art house collides with the authority of the brand’s heritage. Bursts of primary colors punctuate. An imagined past, subverted with raw, graphic expression and joyful independence. A layered, oversized outerwear statement. Shearling pieced together––with a freehand, art-and-craft effect. The down to earth ease of flat-flat shoes and sneakers. The character of Coach’s leather, bags molded into stackable city blocks, an unexpected Gotham geometry. The brand’s Legacy Stripe, reintroduced and energized with a youthful attitude. A flash of electric spirit disrupting the pale, monochromatic mood. Heritage for the next wave.
