The SOPHNET FW 2014 collection appears in the latest issue of Japanese magazine SENSE.
The latest offerings mix the brand's easygoing streetwear aesthetic with crisper, more tailored silhouettes. The signature graphic prints that have become a staple stand alongside remixed camo pieces, making up the most striking items in the collection. Other pieces combine technical fabrics and more classic silhouettes, showcasing the brand's versatility.
The editorial mix and matches the pieces of the collection to create inventive ensembles, proving that there are endless ways to wear the clothes. The entire collection is made up of colorful and distinctive items, but not in the way that it could be considered cluttered or overbearing. Rather, the entire collection retains a streamlined and simple look. The end result is self-expression with a minimalist flair.
