Independent designer Luke Vicious introduced a seasonal collection for Spring/Summer 2018 entitled 'LOVESONG.' The new capsule pays homage to "shoegaze," which is a sub-genre of indie rock music that was born in the UK during the 80s. The LOVESONG collection boasts muted hues throughout and romantic graphic details. There are a series of intimate DIY design accents on the inside-out t-shirts, as well as the metal pin accessories. A unique detail about this is that the designs are printed with real flower petals.
Luke Vicious has gathered a plethora of positive attention from his custom work and a standout piece from the latest Spring/Summer 2018 range is the graphic t-shirt; the front has a visual of a woman's face with slight rose tints and accents of cut-and-sew stitching details with an overall large, relaxed fit.
