Five students from London College of Fashion have just assembled a killer workwear collection—but it’s far from the styles we’re used to seeing in the genre.
In collaboration with adidas, the team has assembled five distinct looks that each represent a different occupation. You have doctor, firefighter, chef, engineer, as well as a flight attendant. And although each category is pretty distinct, the capsule maintains cohesion through the use of exaggerated silhouettes, paneling, and a soft color palette dominated by light gray, pink, teal, and blue.
Sportswear is also given a shout out, as technical fabrics and functional details are used throughout the range of outerwear, crew necks, overalls, and trousers—most of which feature unique zipper placement, bungee drawstrings, and mesh accents.
Check out images from the capsule collection below. The participating students are Tommy Linberheim, Leighton Tian Tzouh Lee, Jia Liu, Soon Yong Kim, and Helen Yeung Wui Yuk.
