The latest from British fashion label AFFIX prepares for the Spring/Summer 2019 season in a way that promises seamless weather transition. The designs are created by Kiko Kostadinov, artist Taro Ray, Michael Kopelman, and stylist Stephen Mann. The collaborative efforts result in a selection of workwear designs that highlight versatility and layering for the weather.
The design language turns its attention to an industrial angle, packing the workwear structures with streetwear elements. The pieces include long sleeve tops, hoodies, matching sets, and more in a color palette on forest green, bright orange, white, gray, and black.
