Los Angeles-based designer Durag Dev, known for creating the iconic 'Gucci Durag,' has launched a luxury streetwear brand called LVXWA. The new label will launch with 'Collection 000,' a concise capsule inspired by Dev's time in Japan.
Of course, the new collection prominently features Dev's now-famous clothing print -- a unique pattern inspired by his own full-body tattoos. More specifically, 'Collection 000' will consist of a wide range of items including pullover hoodies, knit sweaters, t-shirts, and sweatpants. According to Dev, all of the items are intended to deliver a "galactic punk" aesthetic inspired by edgy Japanese fashion and the patterns of the universe.
No doubt, the collection's highlight pieces are the draping two-piece uniforms, which arrive in black and white or black and red colorways.
