Fresh off presenting its spring-summer 2017 collection during a rooftop cocktail for New York Fashion Week: Men, Orlebar Brown unveils the season’s lookbook. Taking us to Cannes for the new collection, the brand taps artist Pablo Picasso as muse. Examining his studio style and life in Cannes, Orlebar Brown channels Picasso’s spirit with a palette of washed-out tones, emphasizing the artist’s blue and rose eras.

Fit for a holiday, the range includes the brand’s signature swimwear as well as casual sportswear. Highlights ranged from fitted polo shirts and graphic tees to active jackets. Introducing new photographic print styles, Orlebar Brown collaborated with photographers Kirsty Lee, Henry Lederer and Dennis Hallinan. The brand also snapped up a vintage postcard from John Hindes.
