Stephan Schneider often draws his inspiration from interiors, this season from his own childhood home. This Fall/Winter collection is inspired by oil paintings of pittoresque landscapes and still life. By overpainting these existing canvas in somber colours of burgundy, raven grey and dark night he changes their suburban character into a mysterious moody scenery.

In the same way he designed the fabric story. Ordinary checked tweed patterns are brushed until they become a mélange of darks, stripe patterns are knitted in hairy mohair/ alpaca blends and become a shadow pattern of camels and even the overpainted works of art are printed on jerseys.

For this season Stephan Schneider relaunches his most iconic jacket and coats adding detachable hoods lined with knit. A painters atelier shirt, collectors coat and trompe l’oeil cardigan are the theme pieces this season.
