Almanac creates product for the tropical,
subtropical, temperate, boreal, and arctic
climates. Most importantly, climates serve as
the backbone of product briefs. Every climate
collection begins a with a trip to a specific
environment within the chosen climate. For
our first collection we designed for the
temperate climate. We chose to visit the
urban environment of New York City to assess problems faced by those living in the
city. Additionally, climates serve in place of
seasonal collections. When organized into
buying seasons, tropical and subtropical
speak to spring/summer deliveries while
boreal and arctic manifest in fall/winter
materials. Temperate then serves as a year-round climate collection able to be released within either buying season.
