Written by Fashion TalesFor FW18, Peak Performance opens their design archive together with Sweden’ hip-hop icons Fricky and Jireel. Under the name X, selected classics have been interpreted and are now launched with a new technical and aesthetic expression.
Special for FW18 are four selected men's jackets that have been interpreted from the classics. The selected jackets include X2 - a water-repellent down jacket in white, and X3 - a shorter rosewood jacket with removable hood. Keypieces also appears in the women’s collection for FW18, with Stella – a jacket with elaborate details and proportions that give a dramatic silhouette and the timeless coat Martha.
The demands on today’s outwear are higher than before. The jacket is able to withstand the toughest climate and at the same time serve as good-looking everyday clothing. Of course, it is obvious for us to go back in our rich design archive to find inspiration and thereby extend the life of favorites from previous collections, says Andreas Eklöf, Designer at Peak Performance.
It’s great to let Jireel and Fricky wear the autumn's selected X jackets. Their mix of urban fashion, sport and personal style embodies our Urban Lifestyle segment, said Malin Broberg, Brand Manager at Peak Performance.
In order to give an insight to their heritage and design process, Peak Performance release a film that aims to remind you of the long and solid craftmanship that lies behind the garment before it ends up in store.
