It seems that style inspiration from the iconic 90s era will never be put to rest in the high fashion and streetwear world and a great example of its persisting momentum is Doni Nahmias' 2023 capsule of Californian fashion silhouettes. The brand tapped 90s hip-hop sensibilities for the aesthetic of the line-up, which debuted during Paris Fashion Week, and Doni Nahmias added a twist to the outfits by infusing them with his "Californian DNA." "It’s always [about my] youth in California, Santa Barbara," the designer affirms.
The 2023 collection is dubbed California Poetry and features a few standout silhouettes like hockey jerseys and varsity jackets, as well as the bunny motif—the House mascot.
Doni Nahmias' 2023 90s-inspired Californian fashion release was designed in collaboration with "the controversial rapper Kodak Black."
