THOMAS PINK CREATES UNIQUE PAPER INSTALLATION AND SHOWCASES MICHAEL CAINE INSPIRED AUTUMN\/WINTER 2015 COLLECTION AT LONDON COLLECTIONS: MEN<\/p>\n

-RUGBY STAR THOM EVANS JOINS MODEL LINE-UP-<\/p>\n

On Saturday 10th January 2015, Thomas Pink, the leading Jermyn St shirt maker, unveiled its London inspired Autumn\/Winter 15 Collection at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, as part of London Collections: Men. Included in this season\u2019s model line-up was former Scottish international rugby union player and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Thom Evans.

\nPresented against the backdrop of a 30ft \u2018long bar\u2019 constructed entirely out of paper, each model bartender and punter showcased a different \u2018Pink\u2019 look. Built using crisp white 315gsm Kendal Manilla paper manufactured by James Cropper, the unique setup provided the perfect blank canvas for the brand\u2019s expanding ready to wear offering. Blurring the boundaries between tradition and technology – paper and digital – guests were invited to leave \u2018off the cuff\u2019 written reviews on the paper bar using pink pens, which could then be shared via social media.<\/p>\n

Florence Torrens, Creative Director at Thomas Pink, says; \u201cShirts will always be at the heart of what we do, but they inspire other pieces to complete the look. At Thomas Pink we\u2019re broadening our offer to include more tailoring, outerwear and knitwear. To highlight this we worked with James Cropper – the oldest traditional paper mill in the UK – and Flow Creation – a group of highly skilled paper architects – to build an installation echoing the blank canvas of a white shirt. Inspired by the architecture of the ICA building itself, we re-created elements of the room in paper to embellish the bar.\u201d

\nFrederik Willems, Head of Design at Thomas Pink, says; \u201cAutumn\/Winter 15 is inspired by a heady mix of London\u2019s well known landmarks, motifs and characters. From Sir Michael Caine in the 1971 film \u2018Get Carter\u2019, to The Coach and Horses pub in Soho, we\u2019ve drawn upon urban influences to create a collection which is daringly bold and eclectic in style. We\u2019ve played with weaves and texture to develop solid colours with subtle design features and added intrigue. Checks and herringbone play a pivotal role throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guests enjoyed cocktails mixed by Pontoon, made using Hennessy Fine de Cognac and garnished with paper foxes, whilst listening to British classics from The Clash, The Rolling Stones and Pulp. Continuing the iconic London theme, models wore Dr. Martens tasselled loafers.<\/p>\n

Thomas Pink\u2019s London presentation precedes its debut at Pitti Uomo in Florence and Premium International Fashion Trade Show in Berlin, in January 2015. The brand\u2019s presence marks its move into key European territories and can be cited as a significant milestone in Thomas Pink\u2019s development as a wholesale business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
