Press Release for Religion Clothing

 

The Religion Autumn/Winter 2014 collection has been inspired by the cult 70’s film ‘A Clockwork Orange’, in keeping with the brand’s signature dark aesthetic Religion has interpreted the film’s iconic use of shadow to give the collection an industrial, contemporary feel.

 

In keeping with the brand’s signature dark aesthetic, Religion presents a contemporary collection for Autumn/Winter 2014 that marries sharp tailoring with classic sportswear elements.

 

The colour palette is mostly monochromatic with dark, rich shades of Avocado, Blood Red and Majolica Blue lifted by bright injections of fluro Paradise Pink and Hot Coral. The aptly named ‘Decay’ print mixes pretty jewel-toned hues and while grey remains a seasoned classic, the inclusion of Whistles Heron, a dirtied lilac and the salmon pink Bossa Nova soften the mood. Collection highlights include cable knit-print light sweatshirts with subtle design details seen in contrasting colour panels featured on the shirts and blazers and the return of degradé dip-dye on knitwear.

 

Both the double-sided wool used on ‘Victorious’ coat and the reverse leather that has been used in the patchwork design of the ‘Sharp’ jacket serve to create subtle colour and texture contrasts. Lace has been re-worked the Religion way; netting gives the fabric a tougher feel, almost military, which can also be seen in the burnout detailing. The new rubber printing technique on the jerseys adds further texture and chiffon has been used to give the collection a feminine edge.

Logo and slogan-printed jerseys have been cut with a boxy shape to highlight Religion’s reference to their 90’s roots. Coats feature slimmer lines to previous seasons with the introduction of a cigarette pant adding to this feminine tailored story. Draping has been paired back with the option to style as desired and tops have also been designed in the boxy shape in line with the 90’s style reference.

 

Religion continues to expand its range of denim for A/W14, offering an array of colours prints and washes to compliment the casual elements in the collection.
