David Catalãn focus his starting point on the safari universe to an urban, contemporary approach and with references to the universe of classic menswear.
The approaches to utilitarian details are presented in different kind of pieces, classic shirts, pants, vests and outerwear. The combination of the pieces favors mixtures of styles through a mix of classic pieces with more casual ones, maintaining the very style signature of the brand. The chromatic palette gains strength with warm colors, the graphic aspect addresses prints with botanical inspiration to macro approaches in the various techniques, multicolored sublimated prints are highlighted, laser prints gain relevance in the Denim pieces, offering a new language to the brand's jeanswear universe. The raw materials are mostly cottons with paper touch, light technical materials, giving comfort to the pieces. Tie-dye washes are also one of the aspects to highlight. The silhouette is mostly comfortable and relaxed, thus giving the urban and contemporary mood. Once again the man of David Catalãn is a current one, with a strong identity but with a twist of style.
