After the huge success of the AW09 capsule collection, Ma.Strum – the brainchild of Donrad Duncan – is back in 2010 with another collection based on pieces and themes from Massimo Osti’s famous archive. The former Victorinox designer takes inspiration from the creator of CP Company, Boneville, Left Hand and Stone Island in a number of pieces, using the innovative processes pioneered by Osti over the years.

The new collection sees Ma.Strum offer their own take on the Torch Jacket, an style that first appeared in the revered C.P. Company Urban Protection series. However, as opposed to a carbon copy of that jacket Duncan and his team offer a modern version, using hi-tech fabrics and a new torch system. The range also features a series of Field Jackets, these are summer weight and feature a number of different coatings and finishes, all inspired by SPW archive designs.

These snap-shots are just a taster of a range that promises again to deliver on quality and innovation, showcasing the work of one of the true pioneers of modern fashion.

Massimo Osti was the designer and creator of CP Company, Stone Island, Left Hand, Bonneville,Massimo Osti Production and most recently Double Use Knitwear. His experimentation with fabrics and fabric treatments, as well as military inspired styling, revolutionized the industry. Osti Studio was founded by Massimo Osti in 1970 and since his passing in 2005, the studio has been managed by his son Lorenzoand daughter Agata, who are intent on carrying on the legacy by bringing to the industry, unique, high quality, functional apparel.

The MA.STRUM Fall/Winter 2009 collection combines the archives of Massimo Osti with pioneering high tech fabrics and designs that focus on achieving optimum benefit and appeal to the wearer. The MA.STRUM brand principle is to provide the user with products that have the inherent qualities of timelessness, function and appeal, as well as to create silhouettes and styling that engage the senses of a wide audience. Wearable technology is integrated in various pieces of the line through fabrics and embedded accessories. Included in the F/W 09 line will be outerwear and knits utilizing state-of-the-art fabrics.

Taking a military inspiration one step further, MA.STRUM builds on a Naval influence, easily transcending seasons and the globe. The colour palette consists of navy blues, greys, whites, browns and military greens, with highlights of yellow and orange.
