I was recently invited to the BrillxMtl event for the preview of Tristan’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection at Hotel Le Crystal and anyone who knows me knows how I am fond of the brand for the quality, the attention to details, the richness of the fabrics used, the large choice of colors, designs originality and the affordability of the pieces.
SPRING/SUMMER 2015 COLLECTION
With February starting in just a few days, I am slowly adjusting some parameters in my head to spring/summer mode and it is a great way of getting through the remaining winter days and prepping for spring, my favourite season! For the 2015 warm season collection, you will find structured pieces combining different garments and strategically placed stripes.
You’ll also notice a sportswear influence trend like tennis court inspired polos and skirts. Other key pieces such as midi skirts, cropped tops and jackets, oversized sweaters, perfecto cut blazers and fluid masculine pants fill the racks in prevision of the very upcoming warmer days. Pastels are enhanced this season with a pop of vibrant colors which in my opinion is a great match as pastels alone don’t always look so great on all types of skin tones. Flower prints and flower embroideries on sweat pants fabric (LOVE!) and graphic prints will be omnipresent and are coming back in force. Other prints of the collection evoke a seventies folkloric accent.
Tristan’s dominant colors for SS15 are cobalt blue, red, vibrant yellow, mint green, pink and purple (which is generally a fall color, but I love fashion adventuring).
The Spring/Summer 15 collection is currently available in stores, check out the sneak peak.
LUXE COLLECTION
Tristan recently launched its TRISTAN LUXE line for women which combines refinement and elegance. The line, made in Canada, and crafted from sumptuous French jacquards with classic and modern cuts for all occasions is available in select Tristan boutiques and on their website. The men’s LUXE line on the other hand concentrates on suits complemented with sweaters and shirts also crafted with European fabrics, mainly from Italy. The suits and the pants are made from the same fabric roll to insure absolute quality, symmetry and same colours.
