Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

XLIM's 'EP.2' Collection Offers a Range of Clean-Cut Looks

— February 17, 2022 — Fashion
South Korean fashion label XLIM has unveiled its newest collection titled 'EP.2'. The expansive new capsule sees the brand deliver a wide range of silhouettes while returning to its ongoing source of design inspiration: contemporary architecture.

As a result, EP.2 is packed with neutral-toned garments boasting dynamic constructions, clean lines, and textural displays. In addition, precise paneling appears as a notable design recurring throughout the ensemble. Standout pieces include windbreakers, softshell jackets, blouson styles, long sleeve shirts, hemmed trousers, sling bags, and minimally designed headwear. Of course, all of the looks possess a clean-cut quality that is remscient of minimalist architectural designs.

For those interested, the EP.2 collection is currently available for pre-order on XLIM's website, while its official release date is set for February 16.
