London-based fashion label maharishi introduces its second collection full of militaristic jackets to launch for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. It features militaristic themes throughout the entire range with inspiration from Eastern cultures. It celebrates the traditional monk coats and the Tibetian jackets.
The capsule also features a notable patchwork Boro pattern material that is bold in terms of its visual. It is then followed by a Monster Tiger print, both can be seen across the military designs including the parkas and modified deck jackets. Additionally, the silhouette is made using technical fabrics that are high-performance and water-resistant. This is applied with the Japanese recycled nylon material and synthetic insulation to prepare for the colder seasons.
