Imprint label Maketto dropped its latest seasonal range for Spring/Summer 2018 with a strong inspiration drawn from local Washington artists. The brand itself is based out of the heart of Washington D.C. and it is a name that blends together a retail space, restaurant and a cafe all at once. The community marketplace and lifestyle brand introduced its 'Community' collection and it is comprised of many different streetwear options for the warmer seasons.
The collection focuses on basic silhouettes such as t-shirts, hoodies and coach jackets. A standout item from the range is definitely the coach jacket in a tonal red color, which is inspired by the local artists in the community. The color palette boasts hues of white, gray and red, with every item adorned with Maketto's signature branding details.
