Designer Hyein Seo takes a step away from her previous tech-focused collection and draws from a macabre theme for her Spring/Summer 2018 line. The newest seasonal range is entitled 'Don't Deliver Us From Evil' and takes on a dark theme that highlights bold graphic details and hardware accents. Hyein Seo continues to deliver streetwear silhouettes through the capsule's reworked staples, seen through the alteration of simple tones and longer cuts.
The Don't Deliver Us From Evil collection is also comprised of a range of accessories on top of the apparel offerings. Some standout items in the new series include the Layered Lab Coat in a washed out hue, the ethnic accented Cross Bag, and the Slashed T-shirt that boasts unique cuts throughout the front and bottom of the shirt.
