Fashion imprint KRAKATAU introduces its latest collection entitled DAMAGE SUPPRESSOR, designed specifically for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. It is inspired by the concept of surviving the hash climates that are impacted by climate change, bringing awareness to the issue as a whole as well.
The capsule includes silhouettes such as insulated coats, softshell jackets, and down jackets. The color palettes include metallic ice blue, mossy stone, gray, deep olive green, and black. All of these designs are meant to protect wearers from terrains such as rain, wind, and the cold. Additional details include the technical packing, taped jacket seams, protective warmth, and enhanced breathability. The parkas also have a removable liner jacket that can function as a raincoat, padded coat, or quilted jacket.
