Goldwin 0, the avant-garde branch of Goldwin renowned for its innovative and eco-conscious apparel, has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2024 collection, aptly named “Collective Study.” Embracing profound themes such as the dynamics of work structures and the harmonious coexistence of various disciplines, this collection embodies the intersection of conceptual design and sustainable fashion, all meticulously crafted in Japan.
True to Goldwin’s ethos, the collection subtly incorporates these abstract concepts into its garments, eschewing overt symbolism for a more nuanced approach. Take, for instance, the GORE-TEX Seed Shell Jacket, which features gently curved vertical panels, diverging from the conventional shell jacket design. Enhanced with customizable zippers, wearers can effortlessly alter the silhouette to suit their preferences, showcasing the fusion of functionality and innovation.
Among the highlights is the Pertex Equilibrium Wind Shirt, a lightweight marvel boasting a modular construction. With its detachable hood and sleeves, this piece epitomizes versatility without compromising on style or performance. Additionally, the Waterproof Packable Poncho, inspired by the graceful lines of flower buds, offers both aesthetic allure and practicality, effortlessly compressible into a compact stuff sack for on-the-go convenience.
Beyond aesthetic appeal, each garment upholds Goldwin’s stringent technical standards and commitment to sustainability. As designer Julia Rodowicz emphasizes, longevity is paramount in the brand’s philosophy. With a dedication to durability and repairability, every piece can be expertly refurbished at Goldwin’s factory in Toyama, Japan, ensuring a lifespan that transcends fleeting trends.
The Goldwin 0 SS24 collection is now available for purchase on the Goldwin webstore, with prices ranging from $350 to $1,100 USD.
