Tim Coppens

Tim Coppens can craft a bomber jacket into something near brilliance. For spring the designer continued his exploration of the sporty silhouette by adding shorts, crisp collar shirts and parachute harnesses (naturally). The palette and color block patterns came via Richard Diebenkorn paintings and indeed — considering the many moments of unexpected detail — Coppens’ designs invite the same critical observation one would apply to tableau. Surprise zipper here, cool cut-out there, with lines clean enough to make even the dandiest dudes feel like a hot mess.

The show notes named the collection “Gentlemen of the Sky;” yet again, it was a circumstance where you wish every piece would crash land in your closet.
