Sergio Zambon · fall/winter 2022–23 menswear
Outdoor clothing supplied an everyday fashion vocabulary of shells, puffers and useful-looking pockets. Its visual promise of adventure does not establish a garment’s performance.

Sergio Zambon · fall/winter 2022–23 menswear
Gorpcore takes the visual language of outdoor equipment into everyday fashion. Puffers, weatherproof-looking shells, cargo pockets and hiking-inspired footwear connect a city outfit with the idea of a trail or campsite. The term predates the 2020s, but outdoor dressing remained highly visible in the decade’s street style and designer collections. Some examples are genuine performance gear; others borrow its appearance.
