Andrew Coimbra revealed his environment inspired, fourth collection with his Fall/ Winter 2016 Presentation. This collection is special because it helped bring awareness to the current oil spill off of the coast of Vancouver. This presentation was done for an intimate exclusive audience in Toronto.
Andrew was quoted saying, "The inspiration for the FW16 collection came from the oil spill off the coast of Vancouver, in 2015. I began thinking about the different forms of marine pollution and researching natural forms of defense for marine wildlife, in efforts of juxtaposing the two themes. This collection is a combination of my current aesthetic and bringing attention to a topic that needs to be put in the spotlight".
Coimbra pulled from his inspiration and incorporated oil printed fabrics, slick textures and aquatic embellishments into a very well made men's line of contemporary sportswear. I think bringing attention to this serious problem is a brilliant idea. Andrew is on top of trends and knows how to pull out one hell of a successful line, I dare you not to fall in love with his collection! Also, loving the eyewear from spectacle! #AndrewCoimbra
