Sage's offerings are as beautiful and precious as a well read book. Stained, fragile, used and abused, but ultimately more endearing than any sterile new edition. Each piece has its own personal history which it proudly displays after Sage himself bruised and battered all of the fabrics used in his collection. Muddy shades of olive green, fluorescent orange, dirty cream, dusk blue, silver grey and faint coral pink are combined to create a subtle palette which rests well on each outfit. Silhouettes vary from sharply tailored, geometric cuts to comfortable creased fits that float around the body. Faded British flags and a stencil of 'The Face' logo appear on key pieces which are more concerned with treatment than trend.
