Indigo geometry is enjoying a renaissance influenced by the harder stuff which surrounds us.

Indigo prints and jacquards were much used and loved in South Asian and South American culture when their origins were from historical ornament. Again we use the same jacquard ornamentation but now influenced by a more contemporary environment.

Tiles and patterns match in indigo. strict patterns work for clean cut indigo pieces.

More complex jacquards in double faced and quilted cloths give the distinct impression of architectural origins. For structured simply cut jackets to showcase the pattern and fabric without interference of the stonewash effect.

Varying scales and different weights in indigo patterns layered for intrigue. Technical fibres and fabrics combined with geometry have a strictness which emanates from architecture as an influence. Issy Miyake is one of the most inventive exponents of such layered geometric statements.

This simple trend showcases bold statements in indigo "clothing" rather than just jeans. The purity of organic indigo sits in harmony alongside organic and brutalist creative architectural shapes, lines and spaces.

Lines and cellular structures which divide spaces likewise divide indigo shapes and complex layers. The use of zippers is an important hardwear feature to echo shutters and building grids.

Contemporary structured cuts outs in denim clothing echo the same from the built environment. Geometric shapes in rigid denim which will be dry cleaned to retain its crispness.

Stripes, lines, tucks and diagonal twists look new in indigo and strictly essential in our surroundings.

What's interesting about the link between architecture and denim clothing is the stiffness of denim fabric before cutting and washing and its ability to be tailored into strict shapes for a new wave of strict casual smart denim - a move on from casual chic jeanswear.
