Delikatessen Autun Winter 2012/13 Andre Lisowski continues moving the collection of Delikatessen into color with a keen sense of proportion, allying skillfully the low-key and the bold. What stands out in the collection is the delicacy in the slim tailoring, effortless styling, and a refined color blocking. For the AW 12/13 the designer applies hues of emerald green, burgundy, and various blues. The intense palette of colors is darkened with a drop of gray. In this way the designer comes up with a colorful, however pared-down silouette. The collection includes several pieces of outstanding color and texture blocking. Over-dyed lime and turquoise oxford shirts heighten the autumnal hues of pants and tops. Delikatessen injects a much-needed dose of playfulness into the menswear wardrobe. This highly wearable collection caters to the discerning man choosing to wear subtly understated and individual garments with a dose of panache. Delikatessen shirts feature a perfect sartorial slim cut, handsome tiny collars, hidden inner pockets, unique Delikatessen buttons, impeccable stitching and soft stone wash finishing. The soft feel of neatly embroidered sizes in tomato red are Delikatessen’s answer to often irritating size labels. The collection includes over-shirts with elastic band, T-shirts and kimono shirts. Trousers feature a unique innovative pattern: the back consists of one piece of fabric. The pockets cut horizontally through the sideline of trousers and close with two buttons. All trousers have a low cross and a very neat inside trimming. Jackets: Cut minimalistic, an outside button together with an inside strip close the jacket. The relaxed look of the jackets results from soft finishing: no lining and no shoulder pads. Easy to use - designed to be machine washable. Fabrics: Naturally imperfect: almost plain two-toned weaves, deceptively raw: bouclettes with modestly grainy, stony, imperfect aspects, and with luxuriously soft handles; delicate aged looks: cloudy patinas and washed-outs, subtle plays on dyes and over-dyes. The entire Delikatessen collection is prewashed and pre-shrinked. The world renowned Giza 87 and Mako are at the base of all Delikatessen cottons, the softest available yarns in the world.

Andre Lisowski - bases the label Delikatessen on his sharp eye for advanced sartorial details and personal reinterpretation of traditional garments. The brand's forte are shirts. Each season the brand comes up with a vast collection of redefined shirts, made from impeccable and refined cottons and linens. Andre Lisowski says: Delikatessen concept is to start with a product of purity: something that achieves balance between old craft and a modern aprroach to design. Researching and mixing different fabrics is a reoccurring theme in Lisowski's design. He is inspired by rich textures and color blocking. His use of prints, colors is distinctive for the brand. For SS12 he comes up with some super heavy linen jackets inspired by upholstery fabrics. The jackets are paired down with shirts made from soft and light semi transparent egiption cotton mouslins. Garments are heavely enzyme washed and softened in order to give them fluidity and contemporary relaxed look. The collection SS12 is about a research of minimal forms. Many designs employ just a few seams. They seem to be simple at first look, however it is a complexity of construction that compels. Garments are constructed from very few pieces of material which results in innovative forms. Jackets have no side seams and back of pants is cut from one pieces of fabric. Using well selected checks, intense tones, layering different garments and colors Delikatessen collection revives a menswear garderobe giving it a fresh and body-conscious edge.
