SHANGHAI, Oct. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Bosideng, the China-based leader in down outerwear, is releasing its collaborative capsule collections with three top international fashion designers - former Ralph Lauren design director Tim Coppens, former Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton designer Antonin Tron, and Yohji Yamamoto's collaborator Ennio Capasa - to present the prefect marriage of international top-notch fashion aesthetics and outstanding down apparel expertise.

The collections created with the three internationally renowned designers will make their debut in Beijing on October 27 and officially hit the market on November 5.

TIM COPPENS

An alumni of the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and recognized as one of the "Ten of Tomorrow Rising Stars" in fashion, American designer Tim Coppens has served in top roles in prominent fashion houses, including working as the design director at Ralph Lauren and the creative director at Karl Lagerfeld before founding his own eponymous fashion label. He currently serves as the executive design director at Under Armour.

His innovative fusionist style has earned him some of the most distinguished fashion awards and recognitions in the world, including the CFDA Swarovski Award for "Emerging Menswear Designer of the Year" (2014), LVMH Prize Finalist (2014) and multiple CFDA "Menswear Designer of the Year" nominations.

The Bosideng x Tim Coppens collaborative collection will ingeniously fuse European fashion with New York styles using different materials in classic premium fall/winter color pallets with state-of-the-art tailoring to provide consumers with an exceptional upscale clothing experience that is both modern and comfortable. "I am very excited to collaborate with Bosideng, a creative globally reputed down clothing brand," said Tim Coppens. "Its diverse design is both intriguing and inspiring."

ATLEIN

The founder of ATLEIN and a recipient of the ANDAM Fashion Award, French designer Antonin Tron has served as the chief designer at illustrious international fashion labels such as Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and Givenchy. His past experiences granted him the in-depth knowledge of French luxury brands' vitality: the ability to deliver fascinating showpieces, to excel in commercial collections, and to establish an impactful identity visually.

Being a trekking enthusiast, Antonin Tron's capsule series in his collaborative collection with Bosideng drew inspiration from his experience of scaling the Himalayas and other outdoor activities. Featuring stylish contemporary silhouette and elegant French tailoring, the collection brings forward down-filled puffer jackets, parkas, zipped jackets and sportswear. With versatility in mind, the collection offers an exclusive experience with its modern structure and excellent fit.

ENNIO CAPASA

Italian designer Ennio Capasa has experience of working with Yohji Yamamoto, who is known to be the pioneer in modern fashion. His style is described as being "elegant and avant-garde" by international media. New York Times, for example, credited him for having "revolutionized men's fashion in the 1990's". Capasa has focused on fashion design for 32 years and has won multiple prominent fashion awards including Italian Designer of the Year and the La Kore award. CoSTUME NATIONAL, the Italian ready-to-wear brand founded by him in 1986, has been loved by many Hollywood celebrities including Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and Beyoncé Knowles.

"At the mention of down jackets, you immediately think of Bosideng, the world-leading down apparel expert," said Ennio Capasa, who was a collaborator of famous Japanese design master Yohji Yamamoto. In this collaboration with Bosideng, he made a bold use of colors such as black, white, red and azure in printed Scandinavian natural scenery and animal patterns in the expression of "wild nature". The combination of sophisticated Italian cutting and Bosideng's specialization in down technique creates a unique fashion that is practical and aesthetically refined all at once.

As a down apparel expert with 42 years of history, Bosideng is loved by a great number of consumers in China and around the world with a well established presence in 72 countries including the United States, France and Italy. By teaming up with the three internationally esteemed designers to integrate its down apparel expertise with world-class design, Bosideng aims to provide consumers with better experiences and make "down apparel of China" bloom all around the world.
