Nili Lotan Pre-Autumn 2022 – WWD

“I make the things I want,” Lotan says bluntly about the designs. And pre-fall is a conversation about how she dresses herself a weekend in the countryside versus a work week at TriBeCa New York. He also introduces the men’s collection, with looks that compliment women – she must be his girlfriend – and since Lotan has always borrowed from the boys in terms of design and form, the new collection makes sense as its next chapter.

appearance: The Lotan cut is done through the lens of a subtle taupe, olive and black textured color palette. Her trademark, menswear, elevated outerwear, and utility feel are all in her seasonal mix. “This is literally the first item you buy for your fall wardrobe,” she explains, adding that most retailer purchases are larger for pre-fall because it stays on the sales floor longer, which makes it really easy to target collections with feeling. fall down.

quote note: “The past two years, I have emphasized how luxurious my clothes are, and luxury to me is uncomplicated… something made of beautiful and simple textiles.”

Key pieces: A mix of fuller ’70s jeans with a bit of stress, a sophisticated neutral six-layer knit mix, leather jackets, light Italian wool coats, leather trims, shearlings (the outerwear category, he says, is one of its best sellers), dresses, days, culottes, and updates to his pants, like carpenters and Luna’s pants.

Take it home: Lotan has been designing its urban wear for over 15 years and looked into its own utility aesthetic, mannish silhouettes, and plush textures to create a fall-looking collection made up of understated, yet luxurious pieces.
