For Fall/Winter 2024/25, Portuguese label Ernest W. Baker presents a bold reinterpretation of classic dress codes with a youthful, rebellious edge. Staying true to the brand's roots, the collection seamlessly merges timeless craftsmanship with modern defiance, showcasing luxurious details, innovative materials and striking contrasts.
Classic silhouettes, such as double-breasted blazers and tailored overcoats, are reimagined with edgy accents like gold studs, reminiscent of punk culture and gothic-inspired jewelry. Iconic motifs, including Baroque patterns, are transformed into quilted jacquard overcoats, while vintage tartan wool linings are upcycled into sophisticated tailored pieces, blending tradition and innovation.
The color palette emphasizes muted tones of black, white and grey, punctuated by bold red. Textural elements, such as animal prints, tweeds, and red tartans add depth and dimension, while materials like wool blends, satin viscose, leather and denim showcase the collection’s luxurious craftsmanship.
This collection masterfully balances individuality and tradition, offering designs that challenge conventions while celebrating the enduring allure of classic style.
