Last Monday Brown Clothes by Melanie Brown proudly presented its fifth collection ‘WARRIOR part 1′ in gallery Wim van Krimpen. The collection has been inspired by the form and movements of Korean Martial Art, Kuk Sool Won. The name of the collection refers to  contemporary women, who are all warriors on the inside.

In the presentation of the collection movement also played an important role, as it is referring to Eadweard Muybridge’ photography. The forms and silhouettes of the garments echo an eastern influence, with an emphasis on tailoring and layering. Fabrics are mostly natural (wool and silk), and the basic colour palette ranges from dark navies and blacks with red accents, and a tartan print with its reference to ancient clans and their warriors.

Later in the year ‘WARRIOR part 1’ will be developed and translated into summer wear for the follow up ‘WARRIOR part 2.’
