Special garment features in the Black Sheep series include raglan sleeves with fully-fashioned details, shoulder darts, ergonomic side seams for a superior fit, and ribbing at the hem, cuff and neckline.

Journeys Range

Icebreaker is also introducing Journeys, a lightweight, lifestyle layering system, which offers elegant versatility and includes lightweight dresses and wraps, sun-drenched colours and striking prints.

Francisco says the garments were designed to wear together as well as work perfectly as solo layers for urban and expedition travel: “We created all pieces in the Journeys collection with the other pieces in mind, so they layer beautifully together. There are so many things that make this collection ideal for travel, from the fun colour pops to the chafe-free seam placement.”

Top new styles from Journey for women include the long Cruise Cardigan and Bliss Wrap, perfect for laying over tanks and tees. The sporty Cruise Dress has racerback styling and a dropped armhole, for layering over a cami, and the on-trend Breeze Dress has a hood an adjustable draw-cord at the sleeves.

There's a new tank, scoop-neck, v-neck, polo and Henley, with a choice of vivid colours, stripes and graphics. The assortment also welcomes the travel-friendly Breeze Skirt and the Breeze ¾ Pant.

For men, Icebreaker created the Quattro Hood as a relaxed street-wear piece. Other new key pieces are the SS Quattro, SS Quattro Polo and Tech Polo.

Nature Range of Women's Merino Apparel Evolves

Finally for Spring/Summer 2012, Icebreaker has evolved its Nature range into a comprehensive collection of stylish, comfortable, natural merino underwear for women.
Nature was previously a layering system with two weights, for underwear and base layers, but is now a complete women's underwear range made from Icebreaker's lightest merino fabric. The styles include a touch of LYCRA®, to give women an exceptionally comfortable fabric that stretches and moves along with them.

The assortment includes two lines: Siren, a luxurious merino version of classic underwear styles, and Sprite, a collection of sporty, sexy styles.

Spring/Summer 2012 will be the first season for bras to be introduced into the Nature collection, in both the Siren and Sprite series. Designed for low impact activity, the new bras give women the opportunity to wear silky-soft Icebreaker merino garments next to their skin, from top to toe.

The new Sprite series layers athletic, tomboy designs over feminine curves with the addition of playful pop colours. The series launches with the Sprite Racerback Bra, a pull-over style with a deep v-neck and a wide Icebreaker-branded elastic band. The new Sprite Racerback Tank follows the lines and cut of the bra. The Sprite Hot Pant features a low-rise boy-short design with an Icebreaker-branded waistband. All three styles have contrast stripe detail along the side seams.

For the Siren series, Icebreaker introduces the Siren Bra, a pull-over, fully-lined bra in sizes extra small to extra large. Other Siren top styles include updated designs in the Siren Cami, the scoop-neck Siren Tank, and the v-neck Siren Shelf Cami. New in bottoms, the Siren Hipkini features a low rise and full coverage in the back. In previous seasons, all Nature garments included nature-inspired prints, but the Siren series now includes garments without prints.
