Simon Spurr Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection

Pushing the boundaries of sartorial tailoring, the SIMON SPURR Autumn/Winter 2012 collection continues to elaborate on the theme of British modernism. Inspired by the men in Robert Frank's photographs of London, the collection is rooted in the dignified and elegant style of the early 20th century.

Historic and military influences serve as undertones in the new collection. Simultaneously, the collection brings forth the controversial re-definition of the traditional suit set forth by Tommy Nutter in the 1960's. Enlarged hounds tooth patterns are printed or bonded to suiting, outerwear and sweaters. Shadow plaids and shadow tweeds are contrasted by graphic geometric prints and jacquard sweaters.

The rich color palette of burgundy, brown, pilot blue, grey, and black give the collection a vivid yet grounded quality; a quality which aptly refers back to a time of personal revelation, social rebellion and aesthetic innovation in the historic 1960's.

Simon Spurr's design aesthetic is clearly informed by both his English upbringing as well as by his years spent working with Hedi Slimane, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. His approach to design is firmly built upon frameworks that emphasize colour, proportion and deliberate subtlety.

The Simon Spurr Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Five years after introducing his eponymous luxury menswear label, New York-based designer Simon Spurr will reveal a darker side to his personality with his Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, which will be shown at noon on February 13 at Exit Art during New York Fashion Week. 

This will mark the 3rd season of the SIMON SPURR luxury main line since separating from the SPURR label, a re-positioned and widely distributed collection that’s centered on premium denim and modern sportswear. 

While the SIMON SPURR range will continue to reflect Simon’s clean and contemporary aesthetic, the new Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is more conceptual – custom-made fabrics and materials are juxtaposed against one another to create movement – and sets a more serious tone in a darker color palette. 

“I think the majority of people know the collection for its tailoring, clean lines, luxurious fabrics and sophisticated look,” Spurr said. “And whilst this runs through the collection, the reduction of the color palette allows the viewer’s eye to focus more towards the fit, texture and proportion of the product.” 

By restricting color and primarily using black, white and grey, the collection also achieves a definitive, more dramatic point of view. Oversized, hooded cashmere knits are paired with formal suiting, while graduated stripes in custom-made suits are contrasted with coated fabrics, laser-cut plonge leather and outerwear, including a black wool and cashmere top coat with leather sleeves and a fawn-colored shearling trench coat. 

“There is still a reality to how these clothes can be worn – this is a signature consideration to the brand – but I have just pushed the boundaries of sartorialism slightly,” Spurr said. 

With the exception of the denim, SIMON SPURR is produced exclusively in Italy. SIMON SPURR is currently available at top retailers worldwide, including Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Luisa Via Roma, MR PORTER and Confederacy.

Simon Spurr Spring/Summer 2011 NY Fashion WeeK

Simon Spurr

Designer Simon Spurr launched his eponymous Spring/Summer 2011 menswear collection SIMON SPURR on the runway of Exit Art during New York Fashion Week on September 12, 2010 at 11AM. 

The SIMON SPURR Spring 2011 range references British dress codes from the manicured style of Savile Row to the dress regalia of the British cavalry. Transitioning through an eclectic color palate of tan, raspberry, grey and black, the collection depicts the journey of a modern traveler. Custom made suiting fabrics with engineered stripes are contrasted with dark, military-style washed leather jackets and fly weight nylon parkas.
