Italian streetwear label IUTER revealed its seasonal offerings for Spring/Summer 2018 in its brand-new Mirage collection. The range is true to the name Mirage, as the label approaches it from an abstract concept, taking place in a desert setting. The set is an environment that is filled with animals that have adapted to remain alive -- this is shown through the consistent imagery of scorpions and snakes. To depict a sense of danger and need for security, the range also incorporates safety orange hues.
IUTER's new Mirage collection boasts heavy embroidery and jacquard patterning all over. The collection's heavy embroidery is emphasized by subtle prints and incorporated polyester prints to make patch details. There are also several styles of camouflage, including the classic militaristic green, extreme orange and stonewash. Some standout items from the range are the souvenir jacket, the denim jacket, the graphic t-shirts and hoodies.
