ARMEDANGELS AUTUMN/WINTER 2022

THE SMART REBELS OF ARMEDANGELS

The Autumn 2022 collection by ARMEDANGELS shows what the visionary fashion pioneer stands for: bold innovation, future-driving messages as well as a unique, rebellious activism with a passionate mission to really make a difference. "Smart Rebels" is the consistent continuation of the Spring 2022 collection "Heroines & Heroes of Today" and is inspired by the 68er movement: Rebellion against grievances and the need for change translated into materials, prints and silhouettes.

Flared legs and Seventies-typical prints and graphics, which reflect the ARMEDANGELS message and "rebelliousness as a brand" in the form of stylized thistle motifs, play an important role in the Autumn 2022 collection. Ribbed structures for fine and heavy knits and premium alpaca yarns as well as GRS certified wool, which is partly recycled, carded yarns create recognition in this season's -stronger than ever- knitwear collection.

RAISE AWARENESS – TAKE ACTION

ARMEDANGELS stands for much more than just fair fashion. The pioneers want to move each individual - strengthened by various projects and commitment - in the right direction and inspire to make a sustainable change. Characterized by strong statements on the key styles, the activist DNA of ARMEDANGELS is also reflected in the Autumn 2022 collection. For example, a cape and a double-faced top will feature the word "Awareness" in inlayed form. The activist message is also underlined by colorful stripe patterns, bold logos and strong signal colors.

For a casual, urban look, ARMEDANGELS' popular jerseys and sweats have been given sophisticated artwork, which is experiencing its revival in Autumn 2022 and can once again be found increasingly as prints and abstract allover patterns on tops and shirts.

The special highlight among the sweat styles in Autumn 2022: the Circle Capsule for men and women, half of whose pieces are made from production offcuts, in keeping with the claim on the chest "CLEANING UP THE INDUSTRY - SINCE 2007".

In terms of color, the new ARMEDANGELS season is defined by earthy brown, rust, light green for the ladies and a masculine olive for the men. A special eye-catcher is a strong, fresh apricot orange. In the men's collection, a cool blue tone Blue Steel is also in the spotlight. With the light green pastel shade Lint and a warm fudge brown shade, ARMEDANGELS captures the late summer feeling for us.

ARMEDANGELS adds more flared silhouettes and patch pocket details to its wide denim range. Through these creative workwear fits and advanced material innovations, the product category once again sets higher and more sophisticated standards in production. Special features include a new sustainable dye from clay, authentic worn-in looks and natural laser finishes to reflect the full range of denim expertise in washes from clean to worn-in.

ARMEDANGELS DENIM

What would the 70s be without denim?

For the ultimate vintage style, ARMEDANGELS is adding more flared silhouettes and patch pocket details to its popular cross-collection denim range in Fall 2022. With urban workwear fits and innovative materials, the fair fashion pioneer is setting even higher standards with each denim collection, raising manufacturing standards to a new level.

A special highlight of the new denims is the sustainable dyeing from natural clay. The washes of the styles range from clean to an authentic worn-in look and are rounded off with natural laser finishes.

ARMEDANGELS GOES OUTERWEAR

This Autumn 2022, ARMEDANGELS is also introducing a new poduct group - the mentioned outerwear to create a unique look: Timeless iconic classics like the MA-1 Bomber or the M65 Fishtail Parka will be quoted and given their own design signature. For both men and women, a selected range is presented, each consisting of a bomber, liner waistcoat, long-sleeved liner and a water-repellent parka made of organic cotton and recycled materials.

Thanks to the use of organic cotton, the outerwear products are highly breathable and have a unique, authentic look that, like denim, becomes a mirror of its wearers the longer it is worn. The DWR-finish is completely PFC-free and guarantees a water-repellent function, while outerwear styles are also GRS (Global Recycled Standard) or GOTS certified.

WINTER 22 NOSTALGIA - FROM TRUE GOOD INTO TRUE BETTER.

The nostalgic vibes of the seventies, first picked up by ARMEDANGELS in Autumn22, remain the inspiration at the fair fashion pioneer for Winter 22 with iconic vintage silhouettes and styles in exciting color combinations. Borrowing from the design of 70ies shades, ARMEDANGELS presents itself bold and forward-thinking for the new season, without forgetting its roots. The focus is on revivals of iconic styles from the popular denim, knitwear and woven categories in combination with new ARMEDANGELS material and design innovations as well as expressive colors and prints.

In terms of color, Winter 22 is dominated by earthy colors typical of the brand for women, such as Cedar Wood and rusty Burnt, followed by juicy Flash Green and pastel Apple Neon Green. The gaudy Dynamo Blue finishes things off and sets bold, daring accents. Men are also dominated by soft base tones such as Cedar Wood, Dynamo Blue and dark Dark Scarab - for a special twist, Spruce Green and Dark Ruby are used this winter. The graphics and prints of the winter styles are also inspired by the rebellious bohemian decade and feature 70ies-influenced color combinations and pattern mixes. For an understated brand presence, the ARMEDANGELS logo is placed as a subtle add-on detail.

During the winter season, ARMEDANGELS expresses its love for the cold, cozy season and brings solid, chunky material textures, nostalgic stitch patterns and warm tones to the collection. The winter drop for ARMEDANGELS Knitwear consists of fresh, new color combinations that are reflected in optimized weave and stitch patterns on the knitwear styles. The ARMEDANGELS passion for voluminous oversized silhouettes and organic tailoring continues, and the use of recycled wool and alpaca yarns gives the knitwear its unique, handcrafted character.

For a nostalgic retro look, Norwegian patterns are reinterpreted and find a place on modern silhouettes. The season-spanning popular knitwear style ALMARAA is relaunched this winter and continued in optimized material and design versions. For a contemporary, sophisticated touch, men's and women's knitwear will feature signature art and wording prints as well as embroidered brand details to emphasize brand recognition and uniqueness.

ARMEDANGELS also focuses on reinterpretations of the popular sweatstyle classics - taking cozy loungewear styles to a new level with modern designs, high-quality materials and bold artwork. As a tribute to ARMEDANGELS' roots, brand-loyal materials such as velvet and high-quality jersey are experiencing their revival in Winter 22 - joined by newcomers in waffle structure and as a cool highlight of the season: the 70ies-inspired Malenaa Retro longsleeve with turtleneck in allover floral pattern. A statement on ideal layering and inspired by the style of the original Cologne rebel Nico. The men styles get modern updates with special details like integrated chest pockets and filigree embroidered logo prints for a casual everyday look.

Newtility 3.0 - ARMEDANGELS Woven styles show timeless silhouettes combined with modern function, innovative materials and an expressive color selection. The urban basics work in combination with denims, sweats or knitwear and create the ultimate twist to underline the brand's versatility. The Wovens designs are detail-focused with urban cuts and bohemian materials. The feminine twist to the gender-neutral basics is created by cool A&H silhouettes for women. Winter 22 wovens feature materials in flannel, soft tencel, textured twill, ecovero crepe and feel-good corduroy.

Last but not least, the brand continues its denim innovations in winter. Detached from seasons with the goal of designing timeless denims for every day, the focus is on using sustainable cotton sherpa. For a cozy denim look, premium Italian fabrics expand the jeans range. Cuts are completed with a 70ies-inspired fit and existing designs are tweaked for maximum flexibility and comfort. Color-wise, the washed-out denim used look and a soft winter white dominate.
