Filippa K to launch high-tech outerwear collection with Monobi

Swedish fashion label Filippa K has teamed up with high-end Italian brand Monobi to develop a capsule collection of performance sportswear for Autumn/Winter 2016, inspired by outerwear, for men.

Named Monobi by Filippa K, the collection is said to bring together the Scandinavian minimalistic design with Italian craftsmanship and performance driven functionality. The capsule collection is set to offer five diverse outerwear items which are multifaceted in their functionality, design and wearability. The garments for the debut collection for Autumn/Winter 2016 include a foiled anroka, a three layer jacket, a polyurethane padded blazer, a bonded primaloft trench coat and a crew neck hybrid sweater which doubles in function as outerwear.

"We were intrigued by the idea of developing exclusive high-tech materials and merge them with our aesthetic sense," said Alexander Schaper, Design Director Man, Filippa K. "We wanted the pieces to be unique and durable with an architectonic and structural design. This collaboration really has turned out better than we could ever have hoped for"

The capsule collection sits in line with Filippa K's overall approach to circular fashion, as the products are versatile and designed to last. Monobi by Filippa K will be sold exclusively online and in selected Filippa K stores across the globe.
