Fashion label LMC introduces its latest collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2023 season dubbed Peace, Freedom, and Reversal. It is made with inspiration drawn from hippie culture that was prominent during the late 60s and this can be seen through the use of tie-dye patterns.
Additionally, the function is also a focus in the seasonal range as the colorful iterations of staple silhouettes are cozy. The rest of the range includes long-sleeved polo tops, cardigans and buttoned shirts for layering, graphic tees and sweaters, outerwear, and much more. Some of the notable pieces include the white and green varsity jacket, orange jackets, and accessories that are accented with a black rabbit to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit.
