Japanese fashion label F-LAGSTUF-F recently unveiled a look at its upcoming collection for the Fall/Winter 2018 season entitled 'Bottled City.' The Bottled City collection takes on classic pieces, but elevates them through cut detailing and coloration. The label reworked simplistic pieces by giving them unconventional cuts and adorning them with boldly printed accents. The new Fall/Winter 2018 range is widely expansive, delivering trench coats, bomber jackets, fleece pieces, anoraks, blazers, trousers, hooded sweaters and more
The color palette and patterning is just as expansive, with visuals of plaid, swirls and graphics coated in minimal and vibrant hues. Some notable items from the collection are the selection of fleece garments, and the trench coats that sport inside-out checkered patterns that can also be found on the wide-legged trousers.
