Designer Chris Stamp's fashion label Stampd introduces its second collection designed for the Spring 2022 season with inspiration drawn from surf culture in the early 90s. The pieces are made for purposes on and off-water and have a modern graphic design language.
There is a multitude of classic silhouettes that are elevated by technical fabrics that blend perfectly from water and onto lang. The collection includes black and white tees, water trunks, hoodies, nylon zipped jackets, and accessories to round it all out. All of the pieces take on a minimal design language and have clean tailored lines marked with typography and graphic logos along with the palm tree motif as a branding accent. There is also the addition of camo and leopard prints.
