In its Autumn/Winter collection for 2019, contemporary streetwear brand UNDERCOVERboasts a pair of long shearling gloves that will surely keep the wearer warm during the colder months. The product is also heavily inspired by a cult-classic film that has edged its way into the world of fashion as it has been appropriated as a frequent design motif. This is the 1971 film ‘A Clockwork Orange’ – directed by Stanley Kubrick and adapted from the Anthony Burgess book.
The long shearling gloves openly tackle this design motif as they place Alex – the main protagonist, at the forefront of the silhouette. In a photo-esque pattern, Alex’s gaze is bloodthirsty and introduces a high level of grit to the aesthetics of the long shearling gloves.
