Tokyo-based streetwear label MAGIC STICK introduces its second drop of the N/A Not Applicable collection for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The latest seasonal drop is comprised of bold designs in the form of utilitarian fashion structures. This time, the label takes a more muted approach as stylistic expression through streetwear staples through the details and shapes.
The range is comprised of pants, denim, athletic apparel, button-up tops, jackets, and more. Some of the standout items include the Hawaiian shirt adorned with a vintage-style flower informed through graphic print sitting within thick stripes. Another notable piece includes the militaristic anorak boasting camouflage prints in a color palette that highlights light brown and subtle red hues. The functional apparel delivers performance through its fastening adjustments and compartmental pockets.
