SWIM

S/S 24

See below deck of our total assortment of swim line for spring/summer 24.

We offer swim lengths from 5", 7" and our 5" Resort Short and a mix of all over prints, textured seersuckers and washed solids.

SHIRTS

S/S 24

Building on the expansion of our Soft A&F Linen Blend fabric, we combined vibrant florals, textured dobby stripes and placed embroideries were the focus of the collection.

Washed beige and tan neutrals mixed with deep burgundy and browns grounded the warmer colors for a casual but considered aesthetic.

TREND REPORTS

For each season, I compiled trend reports to document the new and next of what our target guy is into. Understanding the customer and competitive market research helped inform how these trends become actualized.

For one of our summer collections - we developed our colorblocked short sleeve bowling shirt in our lightweight eco-vera fabric including embroidery details based on New York City neighborhoods.

Similarly in fall - we developed a short sleeve silky camp shirt in solids

and prints for our trend edit capsule - in turn, this item becoming one of our most successful in the line.

DEEP DIVE - SHIRTING

Challenged with re-imagining our classic dress shirt, I researched into our own Abercrombie archive for inspiration from the past. We emphasized on the details - varying cuff shapes, collar and placket sizes.
