The Civilist drop for the Summer 2019 season features an array of 80s t-shirts. The designs prove to be quite unique and playful, hinting to the past with strong vintage sensibilities.
To curate an engaging product that is of interest, the Berlin-based skate brand looked toward trippy visuals and dyes. While the illustrations on the 80s t-shirts depict accounts on the fourth dimension, Civilist also individually dyed its SOUND Crewneck so that each piece features a one-of-a-kind manifestation of color. This adds a dynamically engaging element to the designs.
Both approaches — that of the incorporation of the trippy visuals, as well as the fluid dying process, tie seamlessly into the aesthetic of skate culture in the urban environment. In addition to the 80s t-shirts, Civilist also offers a range of socks and caps as part of its Summer 2019 capsule.
