Letasca, a designer brand that's based out of Milan and fronted by Elbio Bonsaglio and Edorardo Giaroli, launched a lookbook that promotes its Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
The images that comprise it are moody and dark for the most part, with black walls, plastic sheets, and a grungy stairwell acting as the backdrops. The apparel itself has a bit of a futuristic feel to it, with oversized cuts, bold branding, tech fabric, and simplistic colorways making it up. Included in the Letasca Spring/Summer 2017 collection are long-sleeve shirts for men and women, lightweight weather-resistant jackets, bombers, vests, shorts, pants, and more.
As Fucking Young! reports, Letasca has said that its source of inspiration for the collection was "the officinae."
