How Daniëlle Cathari Is Pushing Her Cult Designs To New Heights
If Daniëlle Cathari's name isn't on your radar, frankly, it should be. The Amsterdam-based designer has been one to watch ever since she designing deconstructed vintage adidas tracksuits while attending the Amsterdam Fashion Institute. These creations caught the attention of adidas Originals and lead to her first collaborative partnership with the iconic brand — adidas Originals by Daniëlle Cathari — for Spring/Summer 2018, which garnered a lot of buzz after its NYFW debut. Now, Daniëlle Cathari's Fall/Winter 2019 Collection is here, and it takes the designer's unique aesthetic to new heights.
Building on her work with adidas Originals and expanding her personal brand, Cathari's first full collection takes her designs to the next level. Within the mix you'll find sleek, drape-neck blouses with inverted cuffs, a fall-ready, pintuck wool overcoat, and styles featuring abstract cartoon prints. However, unsurprisingly the hero pieces within the collection are the DC Deconstructed Track Jacket, $306, and the DC Deconstructed Track Pant for $284.
A duo that marks the first introduction of the DC staple tracksuits, its designed to be an essential style for the brand as it moves forward and evolves. For its first iteration, Cathari is offering up both the relaxed-fit, zip-up and track pant in an "Aloe Vera" green with three different top-stitches in a brighter green hue. But, if you tend to opt for neutrals, take a peek at the "Jet Black" version, which also features a trio of varying top-stitches in a contrasting ivory shade. Worn apart or paired together, these pieces bring a refreshing, luxe twist to classic tracksuit styles.
Other standouts within the collection include the pieces that bear an abstract, cartoon-inspired print. For these styles, Cathari collaborated with French graphic artist Lou Buche to create the eye-catching visuals that are featured on a lineup of fitted styles, including this racer dress ($185), these leggings ($185), and several top silhouettes .
