In a seemingly about turn twist to what had been a steady design ethos, CFDA Menswear Designers of the Year David Neville and Marcus Wainwright traveled back to their denim roots to emphasize the American workwear track their brand has been built on. In lieu of the British tailoring sensibility, suiting was noticeably baggier and more at home in the nitty gritty work environs and less Savile Row. Heritage staples were rechanneled into factory appropriate, albeit, fashionable denim and chambray while sweaters unraveled and suit pants came in the form of khaki duck canvas. Tailoring will never be out of the picture for the Rag & Bone man, but think of it as a sabbatical.
