About Aquascutum
A classic British brand, the Aquascutum Spring / Summer 2011 womenswear collection is effortless, modern and understated, taking its main inspiration from the idea of the quintessential British summer.
The statement is a refined vision of Aquascutum’s rich heritage, mixing the iconic trench and the club check, both re-worked for the new season in a neutral, chic palette. The trench coat has been updated in performance fabrics including a variety of laminated cottons. Heritage details remain, including the throat tabs, cuff straps and the storm guard, while an oversize hood and the crunchy, wet look feel to the fabrics gives a new feel for spring/summer.
Tailoring is relaxed but with a neater, sharper edge. Butter soft leather blazers add an urban toughness. Safari style jackets in the softest butterscotch suede give a more relaxed feel.
Accessories take their inspiration from the brand’s heritage. The classic club check features throughout with each of the hallmarks of the trench coat forming an integral part of the handbag collection, incorporating tote, across body and slouchy styles. A selection of bright leather accessories injects a dynamic flash of colour to the collection.
The overall look is effortlessly chic, sophisticated and understated as the Aquascutum woman herself.
