For S/S 2023 Ten C presents a collection inspired by the colors of plaster, starting from various shades of grey which then become colored, while maintaining a sort of opaque dusty patina that covers them and lightens their tones.

Then there are two stronger colors, a greyish-teal that shades into all its other lighter nuances, and a deep burgundy that then fades into more pastel colors ranging from chalky mauve to dusty pink and peach pink.
Plaster was the starting point for the whites and greys, and for the print that takes inspiration from the cracks in plaster walls, revisited in a modern graphic key through this blurred pixelated effect.
All these colors are broken up by total black.
Hybridization of materials continues in this S/S, highlighting the textures of the fabrics in an almost plastic way. Military inspiration is still going strong, with British Royal Navy apparel revisited with new proportions, transforming shapes and fits of outerwear, pants and sweatshirts.
The range in 9 oz OJJ., now one of the staple fabrics in Ten c collections, has been completely renewed with the addition of three new styles to two of its classic pieces, the Freezer, the Marine Anorak and the Rider Parka. Apparel in Crinkle Rip-Stop Nylon, which still features its signature details in OJJ, is made more high-performance with a new system of more resistant seam taping.
This type of taping has also been used for two new pieces, the Bonded Anorak 3L and Bonded Parka 3L, presented in water-resistant 3-layer Cotton/Nylon.
Another new material this season is Silver Laminated Nylon, used for 3 pieces, the Wyre Combo Field, the Tempest Combo Anorak and the Skye Combo Parka, with OJJ details. It is an Ultra-Light Nylon with an internal silver foil that is influenced by the external color at the time of dyeing, thus giving the piece a remarkable shine.
The Mid Layer in Nylon Tactel with OJJ details range is also renewed with outerwear and pants in new styles. The last of the new fabrics in this collection is peach skin Cotton / Nylon which features on two Mid Layer models and a series of pants ranging from long to oversize Bermuda shorts and swim shorts.
Hybridization is still present this season with fleeces with OJJ details, and a new heavy Mako Jersey is introduced.
As mentioned at the beginning, the print is inspired by plaster walls and features on some pieces from shorts to Bermuda shorts and Mid Layers.
The collection also contains a mini capsule consisting of two down jackets which can be transformed into gilets by detaching the sleeves.
One is the Hurricane Combo Down Anorak-Vest in Crinkle Nylon with details in laser-cut OJJ which comes in three colors, while the other is the Austral Down Jacket-Vest in garment-dyed Nylon Tactel, presented in 4 colours. This capsule is a preview of the F/W 2023 season.
