PHILIPP DORNER IS A GERMAN-BORN MENSWEAR DESIGNER AND PART OF THE LONDON SEVEN DESIGN COLLECTIVE. HAVING STUDIED AT THE LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION, WORKED AT BRIONI AS WELL AS AT THOM BROWNE AND TRAINED IN TAILORING AT HUGO BOSS, DORNER’S WORK COMBINES TRADITIONAL CRAFT ELEMENTS WITH HIS EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF TAILORING. HE DRAWS UPON GERMANY’S CLUB CULTURE AND YOUTH SCENE IN BERLIN – TAKING INSPIRATION FROM THE CITY’S VALUES OF LIBERALISM AND INCLUSIVITY – WHILE ALSO LOOKING TO CENTRAL EUROPEANS HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE TO INFORM HIS WORK.
WINTER 22 ‘SMALLTOWN BOYS’
SMALLTOWN BOYS IS THE WINTER 2022 COLLECTION OF PHILIPP DORNER. THIS SEASON THE BRAND CONTINUES TO TELL THE STORY BEHIND THE YOUNG GENERATION THAT GREW UP IN THE COUNTRYSIDE IN GERMANY AND OF THE ONES THAT HAVE MOVED TO CITIES LIKE BERLIN. THE PREVIOUS SEASON WAS ABOUT ALTERNATIVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED TO THE GERMAN CAPITOL AND SHAPED IT INTO A LIBERAL HOME FOR INDIVIDUALS. THESE REFERENCES ARE STILL THE BASE OF THIS COLLECTION.
HOWEVER, IT IS VISIBLE HOW THESE GARMENTS HAVE BEEN REINVENTED. THE MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS IN SEVERAL LOOKS FOR INSTANCE LATEX WITH MOHAIR KNIT OR JERSEY WITH BONDED WITH SUITING FABRICS IS REFLECTING THE TRADITIONAL AND MODERN VALUES OF CRAFTING. THE MIX OF GENERATIONS IS ALSO REPRESENTED IN THE OVERALL CATEGORIES. ANORAKS AND TAILORING ARE COMBINED WITH ACTIVE LYCRA SPORTSWEAR. WINDBREAKERS ARE MIXED WITH LATEX GLOVES AND SUITS. THIS COLLECTION SEEKS TO BE A REFLECTION OF A MULTI-GENERATION WARDROBE, THAT A PROVIDENTIAL BOY HAS MIXED TOGETHER. THE COMBINATION OF WARM AND COLD COLOURS IS SUPPORTING THE CONTRAST OF GERMAN RAVE AND YOUTH CULTURE.
