For Fall 2015, TSE Creative Director Tina Lutz focused on her German heritage and the resurgence of traditional German costumes known as Trachten. This season, Lutz collaborated with three talented design students from Rhode Island School of Design. Pom-poms, corset lacing, piping details and chains are incorporated into the collection to create a unique blend of modern textures while integrating sentimental notions of family origin.

A mélange of rich greens, browns, and greys are combined in Black Forest inspired prints reminiscent of trees – a reminder of the small town of Liedenzell where Lutz’s grandparents once lived. Quintessential German styling such as frilly blouses and bibbed dresses are transformed and reinvented through interesting stitching patterns, intricate open knits, and delicate fringe trimmings. Felted wool used for both pant and sweater styles give the illusion of a tweed fabric, and complex stripe layouts create a sense of colors feeding into one another.

Fall 2015 is a contemporary take on the traditional, and continues TSE’s reputation for incredibly soft, touchable textiles and unique wearability. TSE has created a true simple luxury currently available @ TSEcashmere.com and freestanding TSE stores worldwide.
