Kristopher Brock is a triathlete along with a creative director and photographer whose Brock Collection for ladies won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award in 2016. So he knows a thing or two about cycling.
Now he’s using that have within the saddle to create a limited-edition capsule with the technical cycling apparel brand Giordana.
Called Per Tutti I Terreni, which translates into “for all terrains,” the gathering for men and girls is meant for use for greater than just cycling. Although there are bike jerseys and bib shorts, it also includes unisex rain pieces, swim shorts and accessories.
“Each bit on this collection is deeply personal to me and the needs of my wardrobe as someone who’s each athletically energetic while also needing to be put together for a busy work and family life — packable, comfortable and elevated, while never sacrificing the standard and craft, and a focus to detail in every bit,” Brock said of his entry into each athletic apparel and menswear.
The colour palette for what Brock calls the “transitional technical wear,” is steeped in neutrals which might be intended to evoke the natural landscape and texture of the Los Angeles coast he calls home. There are two graphics: the primary, Steps, is a picture of an old staircase that leads into the ocean. The opposite, Gloaming, is a more abstract swirl of colours that represents the synergy of earth and water.
“The partnership between Giordana and Kris Brock is a natural fit,” said Giordana creative director Julian Andretta. “All of us give attention to quality all the way down to the smallest detail and revel in pairing an appreciation for nostalgia with a contemporary viewpoint.”
Retail prices range from $18 for socks and $98 for long-sleeve technical T-shirts to $155 for an energetic short, $195 for a cycling jersey, $235 for a hooded wind jacket and $250 for the bib shorts. It should be sold on the Giordana e-commerce site.
