Warsaw-based streetwear label Hermetic Square recently introduced its new collection for Spring/Summer 2018 entitled 'Chapter Nine.' The latest capsule draws a strong inspiration from the 80s and 90s, exuding a nostalgic aesthetic. The lookbook video for the range parodies teleshopping culture as an ode to the era's media. Some specific influences on the series are the TV series 'Baywatch' and the rise of 90s hip hop fashion.
The Hermetic Square Chapter Nine collection is comprised of a selection of outerwear pieces, graphic-printed t-shirts, sweatpants, velour shorts, and accessories. Some standout items include the Harrington trench coat, classic leather jacket, and the matching grid coat and pants. The latest seasonal collection is now available to shop online at Hermetic Square.
