US technical sportswear brand DYNEdebuted their FW19 RTW collection during New York Men’s Fashion Week. This season DYNE partnered with F.I.T. (Fashion Institution of Technology) where the presentation took place on at the Pomerantz Gallery.

The inspiration for the FW19 collection entitled “Open Sourcing,” drew from the beautiful outdoors of the Oregon Painted Hills. “In our continued story of being sustainable, we lift the veil on how we build our brand and garments. Tailoring is at its roots as always and fabrics have been sculpted to have a universal appeal.” said Creative Director Christopher Bevans.

DYNE partnered with Swarovski, as both brands aspire to bring awareness to sustainability. The result; a four-piece capsule collection made by hand using crystal pieces. The shirts use multiple languages to bring a sense of community– something that has been a pillar of the DYNE DNA from its inception. In highlighting DYNE’s “Hero” piece, the Renzo Crew Top, speaks to the climate of the global predicaments we are all experiencing. With the phrase, “Save Us” demonstrated in 7 different languages (one being braille) in Swarovski’s cabochon pearls.

The latest collection also stays true to the brand’s technical sport-inspired roots elevating the materials through texture, color and sustainability. DYNE’s new partnership with Sabrina, a state of the art Taiwanese manufacturer that is leading in sustainability allowed DYNE to create sustainable fabrics, which was a key focus for this collection.

Fabrics included water resistant membrane over combed yak fur, and fabrics created with upcycled & recycled properties. The collection also features weatherproof styles by incorporating quilting methods and fabrics that are textured waterproof and water resistant.

Other key elements: the silhouette that is a DYNE signature–the Renzo Pant, and the Coelho Aviator, a mix of textures and finishes. Styles embedded with NFC chips displaying DYNE’s supply chain and fabric sourcing amongst other discoveries. A color palette mixed of bright neons, olive and heather green and grey, on silhouettes that were rugged, yet functional. The continued use of face masks to style these pieces made from recycled tech “junk,” all handmade by the design team. Finally the looks were completed with footwear by Onitsuka Tiger and styling led by Eugene Tong.
