British label Agi & Sam teamed up with Woolmark to create a wool-heavy collection that's ready to take on winter, with scarves, coats, pants and knits. The oversized cuts made for easier layering while color blocking, as seen on pants that resembled racing pants, helped break up the monotony of wool-on-wool.

Gender roles were a focus at Agi & Sam's insightful and strong Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The checked patterns on 50s-style tailoring had great effect on the theme that was quite apropos since there is a conversation society needs to have about gender roles. In the age of it-items (bags, shoes, etc) fashion's ability to take a stance and provide a strong, coherent voice in a time of great change has diminished as labels become so corporatized, focusing on numbers and sales. This collection from the relatively new British label is proof positive that great clothes and a strong commentary on the state of society are not mutually exclusive.

British design duo Agi & Sam proffered a proportionally interesting collection for FW16 with cropped tops with elongated sleeves or wide and roomy trousers paired with simple but chic trainers. The result was a youthful collection that took classic pieces like patterned trenchcoats and updated them with quirky but still wearable details. While the knits with the aforementioned sleeves may not be the most practical for everyday life, they're a fashion editor's dream, sure to show up in an editorial or two in the future.

It was back to the basics for Agi & Sam's Spring/Summer 2016 collection. The design duo opted to show a more casual collection that was rooted in their aesthetic ideal. There were influences from their childhood, mainly 90s hip hop culture, as well a bit of innocence from the myriad of stripes, some resembling classic pajama styles. It all came together in a succinct and mature collection that still had hints of the youthful abandon the label is known for.

Neutral colors like grey, white and black were the canvas' that design duo Agi & Sam started with for their FW15 collection and onto the slouchy designs they used color blocking to add bright pops of color. However, upon closer inspection, the collection resembled more of an art project, a Lego project to be exact. Swaths of fabric drowned the petite models in their volumes, with one's coat hanging on by just a panel over the left shoulder. The voluminous layers hit the highest marks on the tailored pants, knits and outerwear that a man in any decade of their life could desire. That being said, the collection's artful take on clothes signaled a maturity for the duo who sometimes go with the ostentatious rather than the wearable.

Moptops were en mode at Agi & Sam's youthful SS15 collection. Kimono-style tops added a bit of formalwear to the collection that rejected the old-school idea of British dressing. Hints of texture shined through in the opening looks and came to full fruition via etch-y plaids, while collar-less jackets emphasized the forward direction the designers are looking at.

Agi & Sam's all-black cast amplified the label's use of Masai patterns to great effect. Slim silhouettes were triumphant when you consider the multiple layers, such as a blouson under a puffer which was under a cropped jacket. Also cropped were the trousers, which were relaxed and also featured the graphic patterns seen on outerwear.
