Warren Kade

Design partners PJ Warren and Kade Uawithya, first met whilst studying fashion at Central St. Martins. Like-minded design influences brought them together as the duo, Warren Kade. Their first menswear collection, 'Six Degrees of Separation' is poised somewhere between the eccentricity of British street style and the elegance of Italian tailoring. These two contrasting elements surface as streamlined suits with detailed panelling and tab-fronted trousers, either in traditional herringbone tweed, soft moleskin or leather. A rich colour palette of browns and reds, creams and whites and various shades of grey dominate. Quirkier items include leather trousers covered with mock ivory teeth and cream old-skool style suits worn with customised white Warren Kade ties and plimsoles. All draw on a mix and match ideal. Wide drawstring trousers in classic wool, contrast with the three-quarter length single-breasted coats edged with overstated Toscana sheepskin or shaggy goat hair trims (as worn by Goldie). This intentional contradiction of savage versus straight is clearly set to become a WK trademark.
