For this season, The Emperor 1688 teamed up and was presented by Saks Fifth Avenue at FFWD. This Fall Winter 2014 The Emperor 1688 looks to the relationship of Victoria and Albert in their retreat in Balmoral castle in Scotland.
The collection is a contemporary take on traditional country looks using Scottish wools, tweeds and tartan. The focus of the collection is the transition of the men’s collection which is synonymous with The Emperor 1688 to the launch of the ready to wear women’s collection.
The Golkar brothers love and are fascinated with traditional English tailoring which is something that was used as the starting point for this collection.
