Contemporary streetwear brand The Hundreds turned to the world of pop culture and cinematography for a graphic-heavy film-inspired fashion collection. The Spring/Summer 2018 range is defined by timeless silhouettes, a minimalist color palette and references to the cult favorite coming-of-age film The Karate Kid. Tapping into the film's status as a "hallmark of old-school American pop culture," The Hundreds injected a nostalgic feeling with an 80s imprint for its Spring/Summer 2018 collection.
The film-inspired fashion line consists of t-shirts, sweatpants and hoodies that suggest comfort. The Hundreds brings to the aesthetic of its designs with bonsai logo motifs, cobra graphics and a tagline that boasts "ALL VALLEY CHAMPS"—a nod to "celebrate [The Karate Kid's] iconic finale battle." Nostalgic and hinting at youth's potential, The Hundred's film-inspired fashion collection will definitely generate some traction.
