Designer duo Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud clearly had an underwater adventure in mind for their second collection for Carven — the diving suit-inspired sleeveless tops and zipped jackets worn with high-wasted trousers.
“You find sport everywhere these days. We like to take small details and tease them out to create something that is really wearable,” Martial said.
Trousers were already a large part of the duo’s first collection and clearly they have become a fixture in the Carven stable, despite being rarely seen in the label’s offering before then.
“This is really a signature style that we want to put in place at Carven,” Caillaudaud said.
In a fresh-looking range, there were also plenty of mini-shorts, mini-skirts and variations on the theme of striped men’s shirts and pleated skirts.
