Strategy

Enroque is a menswear collection shaped by the discipline of tailoring and the strategic world of chess. The project explores the relationship between structure, hierarchy, and intention, translating the logic of the game into garments that feel calculated yet effortless. Drawing inspiration from English military ceremony, the collection reinterprets classic menswear codes through a sharper, more deliberate lens.

Through structured silhouettes, refined proportions, and pieces that echo tactical precision, Enroque examines how clothing can express control, presence, and quiet authority. Tailored coats, crisp shirting, and engineered trousers are designed to move with purpose, reflecting the clarity and foresight that define each play on the chessboard.

Every garment seeks to offer a balance between formality and modern ease, addressing the need for menswear that feels both distinguished and adaptable. The result is a collection built around intention and identity, where each piece becomes a statement of discipline, strategy, and timeless strength.

CONCEPT

Enroque is a menswear collection inspired by the strategic world of chess and the solemn elegance of English military ceremony. The concept reflects discipline, logic, and hierarchy, reinterpreted through contemporary tailoring. Each piece embodies the essence of movement and defense, translating the tactical precision of the game into structured silhouettes and controlled proportions. Through sharp lines, layered compositions, and neutral tones, Enroque explores the dialogue between structure and identity, where every detail becomes a deliberate move—an expression of power, restraint, and sophistication.

The moodboard for Enroque captures a dialogue between order and power. It blends the disciplined geometry of chess with the solemn regality of British military aesthetics—metallic accents, structured silhouettes, and muted tones evoke a sense of control and precision. Textures inspired by wool, leather, and polished metal contrast with shadows and light, creating a visual language that reflects strategy, balance, and timeless masculinity.

PROCESS

EMBROIDERY

The embroidery in Enroque was conceived as a subtle act of strategy — a hidden message woven into the structure of the garments. Each stitch was placed with precision, translating the discipline of chess into a visual code. The patterns, almost imperceptible at first glance, reveal layers of meaning through geometry and order, turning the surface of the fabric into a quiet field of tactical expression.

DETAILS AND EXPERIMENT

Within Enroque, the exploration of detail became an exercise in adaptability and strategy. Functional experimentation led to the creation of modular pockets that could shift position across the garment through zippers and fastening systems — redefining mobility and purpose. These movable elements transform the act of dressing into a tactical decision, reflecting the collection’s core idea: every adjustment, like every move in chess, changes the course of the game.
