Recently, the 2018 Spring/Summer Undercover campaign was revealed, and it features a very clear old school punk inspiration.
Included in the collection are matching button-up shirt and pants, denim jackets and distressed vests that feature a myriad of patches, sweaters, long plaid dresses, a variety of hooded jackets and bombers, as well as many other garments that make use of oversized cuts, statement colorways, patterns, and embellishments. In addition, a number of heavy-duty combat boots, platform shoes, hats, and subtle pieces of jewelry are spotlighted.
To promote the punk inspiration that the garments make use of, the Spring/Summer Undercover collection was accompanied with an editorial, which showcases male and female muses who boast old school hair styles.
