Jakarta-based fashion label Elhaus returns with another collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2018 season. The new range draws inspiration from militaristic design cues and spotlights a unique graphic approach called 'Digi Boro.' Digi Boro is designed to visually evoke a Japanese style of patchwork. This detailed effect is seen throughout the entire collection including its deep green kimono jackets and indigo-dyed outerwear options, which are also the two most predominant colors throughout the capsule.
Another reoccurring theme in the collection are the utility items highlighting pockets and zippers, boasting the functionality of a military influence. Additional details include the tiger camo print and new interpretations of classic shirts. The Elhaus Spring/Summer 2018 range is now available online.
