Concrete & Berries
Every year a new direction, new details and a new theme. This year we internally named our winter essentials “Concrete and Berries” because of the color scheme. The various shades of gray and black have nuances of concrete, whereas berry impresses as an accent color. And of course we have also placed the colors of the Essentials in an automotive context, because the berry tone is reminiscent of the legendary Thundernight metallic at BMW.
Flgntlt Winter Essentials 2023
ONCE UPON A THUNDERNIGHT
We decided to name it Thundernight based on the purple from BMW, which works very well. For this reason, we also chose Kamil's BMW E31 and allowed the purple to recur in the car colors in the shoot. As a contrast, Nikos' Porsche 964 was a perfect fit. In addition to the color scheme, the automotive context of the collection also leads to the special jacket with a herringbone pattern, which can be found, for example, in the interior of the Porsche 924.
GOING INTO DETAIL
In an autumn-winter mood, one thing shouldn't be missing: a warming, cozy Sherpa fleece - which can be found in both the Herringbone Jacket and the Fleece Jacket in the collection. Roughly speaking, you can say that the winter essentials play with the mix of different materials and muted colors with a key color. If you have a particularly eye for details: the French Terry sweater had the panels turned inside out and refined into an often-requested cargo pants, which is now an integral part of the essentials, so we will definitely bring it back in 2024.
INTRICATE UPGRADES
This time we worked on the halfzip with Chrome zippers. In addition, tonal logos are supplemented for the first time by a specially developed woven label on every part of the winter essentials. And anyone who holds them in their hands will quickly notice that we have worked a lot on the functionality of the trousers and both jackets: with further details, buttons and adjustment options, so that in the end you get a very sophisticated product.
SUPPORT EVERYWHERE
Of course, the shooting was once again a large and extremely important part of the collection. Fun fact about this: The homeowner of the rented property is now a big Flgntlt fan. His phone wallpaper is now the two shooting cars in front of his house. In this sense, a big thank you goes to Nikos with N2.studio for his Porsche 964 and the excellent behind the scenes photos with which he supported us, as well as to Kamil with his purple BMW E31.BTW: You can also do so after the collection is released Stay tuned, because we'll soon have a special lifestyle product to match the collection for you. And for everyone who's excited about the necklaces and caps: They'll arrive before Christmas, stay tuned! Only exclusively via the newsletter.
