The Espionage Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook features utilitarian menswear that is inspired by the the Cold War. The winter is cold in Soviet Russia, so the Korean brand has opted to release some heavy duty parkas and garments alongside more casual street wear items.
The Cold War vibe of the collection comes from the camouflage print used throughout, and the dark color palette that furthers the war time feeling. Even the denim jackets look like they could be a standard issue article for the masses of the former Soviet Union. The Espionage Fall/Winter 2012 man looks like he could be found in the dead of winter working at a Soviet dock.
If you live somewhere cold enough to warrant a parka for winter, these options are a great mix of style and function.
