The Colville spring 2022 collection has arrived. Discover every look:
Lucinda Chambers and Molly Molloy enlisted artist Blue Farrier to create prints for their new Colville collection. Farrier was a student with Molloy at Central Saint Martins in the 1990s; her remit here was to do something “really bold,” and she probably made close to 100 paintings.
“Really bold” is an apt way to describe the entire Colville outing. Asked how the long months of lockdown, which forced them to work via Zoom, impacted their outlook, Chambers said, “I think we feel braver.” That manifested not just in lively prints and colors, but in fabric development and their continued efforts around upcycling, both of which are driven by their belief in sustainability.
Among the novelties on the material side was an easy tiger-stripe dress in cotton and wool jacquard. The usual thing to do would be to use polyester for the three-dimensional stripes, but it was important to them to use only natural fibers and dyes. “After the summer of extreme weather we’ve had, we have to be responsible,” said Molloy. The collection’s wide-leg trousers were cut in a hemp- and-linen blend.
Upcycled pieces have been part of Colville’s DNA since the beginning, but the designers pushed the concept this season, piecing used T-shirts into a tidy but fun long dress and a ’70s-slim button-down, and cutting a lovely ’30s-ish number with different swatches of fabric that they picked up IRL and on eBay-based vintage trawls. There’s also a cool new bag patchworked from colorful tracksuits, as light to carry as it is lively.
