Once again the spirit of travel is kept alive through tradition of adventure reflected in Belstaff’s signature DNA for classic iconic pieces inspired by the modern day explorers and adventurers.
Belstaff showcased the collections in the iconic London Venue of Somerset House, in the newly opened wing, the Lancaster Rooms, with press arriving via the British landmark of Waterloo Bridge.
“Built for life Est since 1924″
This season’s collection explores the epic journey of the rider’s adventures travelling through extreme conditions during their journey on the Paris to Dakar Rally.
Influences of retro themes made their debut during men’s fashion week at other designer shows as Belstaff took inspiration from the late 70’s and early 80’s era mixing modern performance fabrics with retro sports graphics and prints.

The real sense of rawness in the feeling of the collection could be envisioned where romance of the North African landscapes intriguing colour hues of soft sun bleached pastels, to the vibrant shades of copper and burnt orange evoked the spirit of adventure.
BELSTAFF Ready to Wear collection’ PARIS TO DAKAR
It was about creating pieces this season that were versatile in aesthetics also light weight incorporating technical styles which are protective and wearable in all climates.
A rather distinct collection was well put together where patterns and prints contrast with retro inspired sportswear elevated the multi seasonal technical use of luxurious materials and bold prints served with functionality. As per seasonal signature items you can guarantee the outwear remains at the core of the collection each season experimenting with colour, leather, graphic and prints and more.
