The new visvim Spring/Summer 2018 collection explores a range of different patterns, prints, and fabrics. Textiles are without a doubt the highlighting theme of the latest seasonal capsule, seeing a deep exploration of the different designs. The main concept of the experimenting with so many different options is to tell a story through the designs and fabric materials -- translating within itself of where it comes from and how it is produced.
One of the key ideas that are emphasized in the capsule include the bandana print from a Kiroki Nakamura sketch and it is seen adorning silk shirts, vests, and coats. Another story-telling print if the Chimayo wool pattern inspired by New Mexico, and the 'Foliage' design based off of a traditional Japanese indication of good fortune and prosperity.
