Nautica set sail in 1983 when founder, David Chu,
created six styles of outerwear intended to seamlessly fuse fashion and
function. Named for the Latin word “Nauticus” for ship, the Nautica logo became
a spinnaker, a timeless symbol of adventure and exploration. Today, the world
of Nautica represents both a rediscovery and a reinterpretation of what its
customers have always wanted to wear.
Over the past three decades, Nautica has become one
of the most important and most recognized brands throughout the world. Part of
VF Corporation since 2003, a leader in branded quality apparel, Nautica is more
relevant than ever to today’s consumer with refined casual classics that are
inspired and energized by the water.
Black Sail, by Vice President Design & Creative
Chris Cox, challenged the outdoorsy man to split his time between his rugged
voyages on the sea and his polished social life, perhaps lounging or partying
on a yacht.
Cox, who took over the role of creative director in
October 2008, struck the balance of the brand's iconic seafaring heritage but
added in a functional, polished aesthetic in the 50-look collection.
The loose knit sweaters struck the perfect chord
between comfort and style – printed swimwear, cropped pants, and simple slip on
footwear gave the collection a feeling of being refreshing,
adventurous, and free. Lightweight and functional jackets completed the look,
hammering home the practical nature of the collection. Whether you’re planning
on going boating or not, the collection offers up several viable options to mix
in with the everyday man’s wardrobe.
