Chame is our creative ode to the Nepalese Himalayas. The collection is inspired by our Creative Director's time in Nepal, a five-week journey through its valleys, villages, and mountains.

For the collection's artwork, we teamed up with Mexico City-based painter James Watkins. James' abstract expressionist paintings are of an earthly nature - he too uses the natural work as a primary influence in his art. His large canvases typically feature organic shapes overlaid on explosions of soft colour-blocking.

For our collaborative pieces, James photographed small sections of his canvases, which were then printed onto large panels of fabric. The close-up detail of the brushstrokes give a soft-focus to the pieces, with the texture of the canvas providing a further painterly feel. They are abstract and adventurous, emitting an organic aura.

The collection's colours are a balance between the colourful greens of Nepal's lower valley jungles, the muted oranges and reds above the tree line, and the majestic white peaks of the Himalayas. 

The pieces are at once adventurous and peaceful - just like Nepal. We hope the clothes and their new owners undertake adventures of their own, one foot forward at a time.

Released for AW22.
