Contemporary skateboard brand Palace and famed German photographer Jürgen Teller join forces on the company's Spring 2018 lookbook. The image series accentuates bold and colorful Gopnik streetwear on a sketchy urban background. From nostalgic 80s-styled color block pullover windbreakers and trousers with psychedelic motifs to mid-top loafers with a luxurious snakeskin texture and matching tracksuit sets, the bright hues and material combinations clash with the unkempt city environment.
Fully embracing the concept of fashion inclusivity and the colorful Gopnik streetwear style, Jürgen Teller has photographed a middle aged man, who is wearing the aforementioned mit-top loafers, styled with neon green athletic trunks. The poses are unmistakably inspired by Russian culture, exposing the raw reality of Eastern Europe, while counterbalancing it with patterned color designs.
