Fashion label Dominate Jakarta dropped a collection for the current Spring/Summer 2018 season entitled 'Upsetter.' The collection is showcased in a music-themed lookbook, drawing inspiration specifically from Jamaican Reggae music and 70s Early Punk music culture from the United Kingdom. This music artistic perspective was intricately incorporated into the 'Upsetter' Spring/Summer 2018 collection through a series of graphic details.
The new Dominate Jakarta seasonal collection is comprised of pieces such as lightweight outerwear, graphic tees, long-sleeve crewneck sweaters, and patterned button-down shits. The main details of the capsule surround portrait-style visuals and descriptive text imprints. There are prints that read "Only Upsetters Are Pretty," "Freedom Sound Chant Down Babylon," and more. The color palette remains fairly muted, with tones of militaristic green, white, gray, black, blue and beige.
