Prior to the industry shaking Autumn 2016 debut, Christophe Chemin had worked alongside Sebastien Meunier for Ann Demeulemeester, but truly flourished in cohorts with Miuccia Prada. “Prada is the only place where I could have done what I did”, Chemin says in reference to his wide scope of beautifully adorned graphic camp collars in an I-D interview. 

Collectively, the two pulled from historic sketches like “Morte Del Sole, delle Luna, e caduta della Stelle”’ (1476) and reinterpreted each stroke through a contemporary lens. Talk of Antonio del Pollaiuolo’s “Battle of the Nudes” (1470-75) akin to other imagery remains void of historical context as Christophe himself sketches the fabrics of time itself. The collection walked the lengths of time while shedding light on Chemin’s tentative abilities. 

This particular camp collar is titled ‘The Important Ones’, referencing Antonio del Pollaiuolo’s “Battle of the Nudes” (1470-75). Through a cobalt blue hue, Chemin reworks the graphic atop a white camp collar silhouette, creating a distinct contrast between the illustration and shirt itself. Tagged as a size large this piece comes in great condition.
