NORTHERN LIGHTS AW22

NORTHERN LIGHTS consists of a total of 120 garments for men and women inspired by the enigmatic play of lights and colors that create the northern lights as protagonists of the Nordic winter.

This collection is inspired by a light and colorful winter vacation. Our garments are made with warm and cozy fabrics trying to look fresh and avoiding boredom and dark feelings.

Our main inspiration are vintage photos in the snow. The models look happy, dressed in colors and relaxing in the cold. Something we find charming and necessary in these cold days. We use these photos to create our own prints and silhouettes in order to design a certain mood.

Imagine yourself at a ski resort in Aspen or an ice hotel in Sweden. Snow, people trying not to fall on the ice, skiers, kids with sleds, hot chocolate…. How would you feel? That’s what we try to express with our AW22 menswear collection.

LOST PARADISE SS22

From a calm gaze that evokes that physical and mental place which contains all the textures and sensations of the Mediterranean, “Lost Paradise” was born. The collection with which DUARTE proposes a path of exploration that runs between earth tones, combined with the blue of the sea, to lead to a colour palette full of light in which a complete universe of relaxed looks is created, but with a great visual load.

“Lost Paradise” is a journey of introspection towards the essence of fashion that leads us to connect with our deepest roots. A route that starts from the interior landscapes of our closest heritage, until it ends in a burst of freshness when it meets the coastline. The rustic, the sand, and finally the water as a transition from the physical to the ethereal, acquire a full representation in this collection for men and women, which advocates presenting itself as the best ally to dress our everyday moments with great elegance. A celebration of the Mediterranean lifestyle in its’ purest essence.

Autumn/Winter 21

Our AW21 collection is inspired in Alvaro Siza’s work, best Portuguese architect nowadays. In 2019 he won the Spanish Nacional award of Architecture and in 1992 he won a Pritzer award besides others.

Siza projects his poetic vision of architecture through white and static buildings surrounded by nature and forest.

Minimalistic architecture between the purest nature is our main inspiration for this collection, we’ve tried to mix the solitude of Siza´s buildings and the rawness of nature around them to search for new silhouettes, materials, colors and textures.

Fall/Winter 20

As usual in DUARTE, all garments are made of carefully selected materials of the highest quality. Among them: wool crepe and boiled wool. Also, some of the garments contain a more avant-garde predisposition and venture to present themselves in a variety of technological nylon fabrics.

The predominant tones in this collection are petrol blue, white, red and yellow and orange shades in the form of prints, forming, as a whole, a palette of desaturated colors that, together with the prints reminiscent of car dents and metal details on certain garments, make up a universe of their own in full harmony with the aesthetics of Italian cars of the 50s. For him, straight silhouettes, impeccably tailored suits and tailored coats reign, while for her, unstructured suits, pants with side slits to provide movement and designs that, this time, follow a more fitted line are proposed. All of them will walk the catwalk, decorated expressly for the occasion by MEC, on February 1st, leaving evidence of DUARTE’s values and its commitment to an iconic and timeless style in which versatility and the highest quality in its finishes, provide a touch of distinction to each of its garments.

In the words of Kiko Font, creative director of DUARTE “This is one of our most refined and harmonious collections. The color balance is always the starting point in all our collections and, especially in this one, we have worked so that the final result breathes a timeless synergy and to be able to provide a new and contemporary image”.

Spring/Summer 20

This collection features aesthetic influences from Native Americans and their relationship with the West.

Within the brand’s hallmark minimalist character, the essence lies in:  “The desire to feel your feet on the sand”, transmitting freedom and euphoria in equal doses.

Native Americans were noted for strong aesthetics, bright colours and shapes, and we wanted to fuse both influences, the Native American and the West, in a single collection.

As always, tailoring is essential and is adapted to this influential look, with sand, stone and grey fabrics intermingled with eye-catching greens, oranges and yellows.

Soft gathering and prints whisk us away to the most native areas of the Eastern USA.

Autumn/Winter 19

Duarte is a universe that explores the experience of formal clothing from other perspectives and its constant redefinition.

As a study, the autumn-winter 2019 collection is created, based on a very anecdotic code, the office wardrobe, which immerses us in the genuine identity of the brand. This serves as a basis to impact the rules of the classic and establish a dialogue with other scenarios of daily life.

The collection is influenced by the work of the sculptor Dan Flavin, who finds in the light tubes the way to transform a space by its own light impact.

This is how the world of tailoring intervenes in this collection, causing the clash with other areas and letting them mean something new.

The rhythm of the collection is marked by the introduction of fluid, technical and quilted fabrics in a variation of noble qualities. As a counterpoint, the satin fabrics define a new color palette and amplify the visual atmosphere of the collection.

Spring/Summer 19

OCRE begins with an observation: How two contrasting elements influence aesthetically everyday life, and how pure is enhanced when both meet. The modularity of the urban environment and the simplicity of nature.

In OCRE, factors such as the environment, temperature, erosion, or anything that does not intentionally participate in an aesthetic creation but plays a major role in its evolution bind together.

The result in OCRE is a notion born from instincts, fruit of sensations, that the designer has experienced in the different environments he has lived. Symbols of everyday life, including imperfections are incorporated as something useful and functional, responding to the need for comfort.

Through the fabrics reminiscent images of tradition are transformed, and new formulas are created to live modernity. The use of linen, squares and stripes is done intuitively. The tailoring takes a non-restrictive approach accentuated by silhouettes and organic fabrics.

The influence of temperature and light is reflected in the color palette. Starting with a raw and tempered base, in different beige ranges, which is irradiated with strokes in energetic celestial tones or earthy orange tones, serving as a transition to greens, browns, pinks and violets.

OCRE is a collection approaching the sensory rather than a mechanical nature designed in a fully modern context.

Autumn/Winter 18

Theatricalized bodies in tension, distortion of the elements in movement, stimulating anguish that connects us with an exultant aestheticism of the chromatic range: magnetism and heartbreaking dynamism. These are some of the legible traces in the works of the British artist Francis Bacon that made him one of the most controversial figures of 20th century art.

Thus PURPLE HEART is born, a drift that brings us closer to the artist’s stylistic universe.

The deformation of the silhouettes as a first instance; the exposed and vulnerable garment, disfigured. The artist’s faithful color palette reproduced in each attribute, to create a symbolic whole, a tribute.

Once again, the styling introduces us to this fantasy to unveil our fall winter 2018 collection. Solitary garments that take on meaning, and transform with each look.

Duarte invites you to be part of this little tribute.

Spring/Summer 18

The Duarte SS18 collection is a journey in the dream, an evolution through the different stages of this intimate space of time.

As Freud states in his book “The Interpretation of Dreams”, the dream it can be a hallucinatory realization of desires and consequently, a via privileged access to the unconscious.

Duarte invites you to enter metaphorically with each look to that comfort that we get to dream Navy, light blue and white are the bases that make up the main garments that are evolving chromatically according to the different stages of the common sleep.

It is not an exercise to move the men’s wardrobe to Street style, but of the sensations that this produces.

The tailoring is still present as in each collection, this time supported by more contemporary lines and more refined cuts.

The male wardrobe suffers little by little a revolution in both silhouettes and in color so we have to embrace this new stage and evolve together.

Autumn/Winter 17

Duarte Fall – Winter 17 is inspired by nature, pure and simple lines in earth, green and ocher colors.

Playing once more with the superposition and the chromatic range we get more urban styles and garments with top quality materials.

Feathers, raincoats and Bombers are basic garments for this season that blur the boundaries between casual and chic.

This collection represents a relaxed and authentic approach of the Duarte man.

Spring/Summer 17

Duarte spring-summer 17, is a journey towards simplicity, pure lines that build up men’s wardrobe male without overtones or clichés.

Marino, kaki and red are the colors that form the basics of this collection. Playing with the superposition and the range of colors we achieve an urban styling, giving great importance to the interiors.

The sports garments within the collection, bring us closer to the contemporary man.

All garments are re-interpretable and can be worn in any way; Freedom is undoubtedly the most outstanding virtue praised by men.

¿What is a style, but the search for the identity of each through clothing?
