STAMPD SS20: DELIVERY 1
The epicenter for the Spring Summer 2020 collection is Surf, Sand and Sail. Stampd’s SS20 collection recognizes a new standard of influence for the brand, based on three past times. Each brings specific details by sport or location, telling the back story of where the Stampd aesthetic stems from. This collection looks back, but also forward. It explores the codes of the brand and the identity Chris Stamp has created since his first collection. Fluid lines, a mix of different silhouettes a usual mix of unusual colors, this is the DNA of the brand.
The collection is also about choice. Furthering the uniform to include influences based on Surf Sand and Sail, while incorporating an array of material that unifies the collection. The color palette specific to each delivery, has created an energy that further pushes the brands identity. Silhouettes have grown as well, included but not limited to, the reversible Sherpa ‘Cardiff’ jacket, Multi-functioning, Flak jacket, Mix Mist Pullover, and the split puffer hoodie. Graphics, always a focus for Chris Stamp, were once again a main focus through the collection, with technique and application being at the forefront. Love Wave, the Speed Logo, and Prime Time graphics all new thoughtful experiments furthering the soft goods in the collection.
