In 1999, C.P. company released its Urban Protection Range, a collection that proved definitive for the then-fledging streetwear label. Conceived by Moreno Ferrari while he was head of design at the Italian brand, it comprised a number of pieces primed for city living, many of them ahead of their time – from a jacket that warned its wearer of air contamination via a flashing light, to pieces in dynafil, a highly technical fabric that is hardy against the elements .
The first in this range was titled the ‘Metropolis’ jacket, which encapsulated the collection’s hallmarks: tonal branding, complex pocket systems, techniques drawn from industrial manufacturing, and a feeling of ‘urban agility’, as the brand describes. The brand’s new ‘Metropolis’ collection for S/S 2023 – following its A/W 2022 iteration released last September – takes its name from this seminal style, retaining many of Urban Protection Range’s signature features .
This latest collection, which has arrived now in stores and on the C.P. Company website, sees this design ideology taken ‘to its most extreme form’, with entirely modular garments that adapt to their environment with a series of clever adjustable seams and buttons originally hidden to the eye.
Aesthetically, the design language is typically precise, arriving in a cool palette of misty grey, midnight blue and crisp optic white . ‘Hard city colours and modular seamless pockets and hoods give the collection a cold, robotic hand consistent with the series’ original millennium vision of urban life,’ says C.P. Company.
