Sasquatchfabrix Spring/Summer 2019 Collection

by

 

I’ve been a fan of the unique approach Sasquatchfabrix brings to design for some time. They focus a lot on fabrics and bridging traditional Japanese styles with more modern concepts. Their latest collection is for spring/summer 2019 and titled ‘NANPOU’ which translate to southbound. The offering includes a mix of traditional styles like the hoari coat, the noragi jacket and hakama trousers. The styling incorporates those styles and and mix them with bright floral prints, accessories and easy summer items. Bringing looks for men and women, in a mix of tonal tans and olives alongside pops of bright reds and purples, there’s no lack of contrast available. The collection also shows off upcoming collaborations with the likes of Suicoke and Asics.  Look for items to drop in the next coming weeks at stockists including Farfetch and SSENSE.
