Work in Progress–Fixated on the notion of research, exploration and experimentation, HIXSEPT’s practical fall 2011 collection focuses on an idea of the work in progress. Abolishing any chic pretense in favor of a nonchalant attitude to dressing, classic chinos and shirting come in unusual fabrications of chambray and liberty, while wool cardigans and raw denim are executed with a modern twist. Enlisting Request model Micky Ayoub, HIXSEPT’s Etudes collection turns the creative process behind designing into tangible ideas in the form of modern workman uniforms. / Photographed by Jeremy Liebman.
