Japanese genderless fashion label ANITYA introduces its latest seasonal collection for Spring/Summer 2019 and it is complete with four different subsections. Designer Tomoyoshi explains that there are Classic and Contemporary, Exoticism and Patriotism, Minimal harmony, and finally, Unisex. The overall capsule features pieces that fulfill those largely vague concepts through silhouettes such as dresses, sweaters, and coach jackets -- all of which are made with organic textiles that boast breathability.
The color palette is mainly muted with hues of navy blue, beige among other neutral colors with the occasional bold yellow pops. There are also some relaxed shapes in the form of boxy t-shirts, bomber jackets, billowy dresses, shawls, and loosely fitted sweatpants. Strawhats and Portaille sandals are also offered in the latest ANITYA SS19 capsule to tie it all together.
