A colourful hot-air balloon lands gently in a wilderness, signalling the start of the story of the Pennyblack Fall/Winter 2022 Collection. The journey plays out slowly, creating authentic atmospheres like scenes in a film. Ranches immersed in a golden light alternate with rustic, cosy, welcoming interiors. Packed suitcases ready to set off on adventures, railway tracks showing the direction. Moment by moment, layer by layer, the city wardrobe is enriched with country and folk elements gathered from different places. Cliché-free combinations that experiment with unusual equilibriums. A new style is taking shape.

The straight, elongated silhouettes of coats and puffer jackets are contrasted by the cosy, wide-fit lines of short, early-season outerwear, alongside oversized plush gilets and parkas. Blazers, cut to skim the body, favour the rich textures of tweed, crushed velvet and corduroy. They are paired with matching or separate draped trousers.

Knitwear takes centre stage with pullovers, cardigans and dresses. Mouliné and knop fluffy yarns are knitted into cable and jacquard motifs, then embellished with contrasting threads and fringes.

Dresses play a crucial role, adding the necessary touch of lightness and femininity with their bohemian-chic look. Long or with hems that skim the knee, rustling in georgette or flowing in satin, paisley or floral prints, polka dots or leopard spots.

Skirts play the same role: pencil or pleated styles in midi or short lengths, with gathering for extra movement, including on the mini skorts. Jersey with the look of nappa leather or suede is used for jackets, trousers, shorts, dresses and skirts, completing the wardrobe with a gritty edge.

Earthy colours like cognac, caramel, cocoa and dark chocolate dominate, with their dark tones balanced out by oatmeal and cream, which also makes an appearance in one-toned complete looks. They are contrasted with the cool-toned palette of peacock, emerald green and aqua, or with warm accents of mustard and pink. Touches of khaki, light blue and grey. Black and white alternate in contrasting graphics or classic yarn-dyed designs.

Saddle bags, riding boots and hiking-inspired boots are the perfect complement for the collection’s looks. A python print on a compact shoulder bag and knee-high boots adds a wild touch. Oversized scarves enhance the layering, while wide belts cinch the waist for defined silhouettes. Ethnic- or botanical-design jacquard fabrics for a shopping bag ideally compliment the everyday city looks.
