'MISBHV,' or 'MISBEHAVE,' is a contemporary fashion label that appeals to consumers with an appreciation for goth, grunge and punk culture.
For its Spring/Summer 2016 collection, the brand intermingles vintage and futuristic styles. To do so, it makes use of underground streetwear pieces and even some that are a little more business-savvy. What stands out the most however is its inclusion of unconventional trench coats -- which are constructed from what looks to be PVC fabric.
This is also used for black wide-legged pants as well -- an eye-catching design that's enhanced by cargo-style pockets, white stitching and a long pink chain that dangles from the waist. In addition to these looks, the new MISBHV collection draws from motorcycle culture as well, with emblazoned leather jackets and distressed denim pieces also featured.
