Introducing SCOTCH & SODA’s Winter 2021 Collection

No Borders, Just Horizons, Only Freedom

Born in Amsterdam, Scotch & Soda celebrates the free spirit of its birth city. Endlessly optimistic, the brand champions individuality, authenticity and the power of self-expression to create the unique – an attitude reflected in its designs.

The Scotch & Soda Winter 2021 collection projects an effortless confidence inspired by trailblazing aviator Amelia Earhart. An icon who pushed boundaries in all senses in her life and style, her fearlessness and modern spirit are mirrored in bold designs which evolve Scotch & Soda’s signature play on the expected and unexpected.

Outerwear that combines form and function dominate, influenced by the bomber jackets Earhart wears in flight and the practicality that grounds her. Utility silhouettes nod to Earhart’s iconic look, which daringly connects masculine and feminine.

“No borders, just horizons, only freedom” and “The most effective way to do it, is to do it” – personal quotes from Earhart – inspire the collection with their sense of freedom and pragmatism, and can be found on jackets, sweatshirts and T-shirts. Prints rooted in exploration and nature drawn from her expeditions energise the neutral palette. Clouds, suns and mountain panoramas playfully semaphore a surreal view of the world from above, lending escapism; graphic jacquards in ring patterns recall elevation maps; and blown-up bandana prints pay tribute to her trademark silk scarves.

A feeling of ease defines the collection, reflective of the demand for comfort now. This filters down to everything from oversized tailoring to exaggerated denim cuts.

Occasionwear showcases Earhart’s unexpectedly glamorous side, translating the nocturnal opulence of the 1920s into versatile pieces that cross day and night. Tiered maxi gowns and skirts in rich burnt metallics embrace volume, switching from evening to day when layered with knitted vests and tops.
